They won't ship to Canada for some reason.

I figured there were reasons behind it. According to Google et. al. they include - no issues with currency conversion; no need for an export review or license; no variable costs such as duties or custom fees; and more control over what happens with shipping problems or lost packages.

All of these problems have solutions but they cost the seller money and the expected profits from Canadian sales need to exceed the costs of making them before shipping to Canada makes sense.

Many things that can be ordered from (US) Amazon also cant' be shipped to Canada. There is a service industry that gives you a US address and will forward your package sent to that address to your Canadian address. But you will pay for that service. If you don't want to pay $25 to get an $80 pickup then perhaps Guild's policy makes some economic sense.

No. It is economically rational. ;-)

Because the laws governing international commerce are from the age of men wearing suits and hats to walk the dog.

Better to stop there before I have to ban myself.

I'll ban you if needed but if it had been clearer that your beef was with the general system of international trade and commerce and not the decisions Guild chose to make in order to function in that system, I would not have taken the bait.

Do I detect "top hat and spats" envy?

Not everyone can pull off the Mr. Peanut look.
