Default Price desparity?

Two major retailers in Canada (Henry's is one) are listing the S5 at $999. Can. and B&H here has the identical kit for $1599. It is also being discounted heavily in Europe. Usually the US is lower in it's price structure but this is really ridiculous.

Could it be the weak dollar is making a difference in the price? The Canadian dollar was at 65% of the dollar just 12-18 months ago. I think this would be the major reason in the price difference.
