I know a lot of friends have ordered from fabric.com and have had very good luck, also Connecting Threads.

There is a Walmart about 50 miles from BC in the Washington. I visit that Walmart and there are always Canadian cars in the parking lot. Some border US town businesses fly the Stars & Stripes and the Red Maple. Even the local quilt shop always has Canadian customers who love her fabrics. I am used to seeing the Maple flag up on the Supermarket I would really miss it if it weren't there next to Old Glory. They are like sisters.

The difference in fabrid prices just doesnot make sense. I wonder what the justification is? Perhaps some outmotted protectionism?
It is stupid as it just means that Canadian fabric shops are losing sales.
