I could easily see myself picking it up for $100 just like in the states. But because of the currency exchange rate, We're getting hit with a 50 dollar price hike.

Meanwhile the Xbox controller I bought was only $89.00.

Do any of my fellow Canadians also feel this way?

The steam controller should be compared to an Xbox elite controller and not a basic controller. The elite sells anywhere from 150$ to 250$ depending where you look.
