Extravagant shipping fee to Canada

[elsi_gril*44]

Why, as a Canadian, am I paying so much for shipping? Today alone I decided against purchasing items due to the incredibly high shipping fee.

I would appreciate purchasing from Canadians but for some reason 99% of sellers are from The US or Asia. I like to purchase from Asia shipping is lower than $!0.00 Can to free shipping. It may take a little longer  but I know it will arrive. We purchased an item that weighed 30lb far cheaper from a seller in Ca. than an item weighing 1/4 lb from NY to Ontario.
