We're an oil country now. No worries we'll be driving trucks on two wheels in the desert anytime now.

Great, just great. Should I be expected to pay 70 bucks for an Atlus 3DS game before the year is up?
Side question, If I pre-order Xenoblade X right now, can they hike the price up afterwards?

According to FearMyWrench, Nintendo confirms that this affects all new amiibo moving forward and not simply Mario Gold amiibo:

Just another reason to be happy I got the fuck out.
It depends on the store, but usually not, especially online.

No. Various press members received the PR Release from Ninty.
Furthermore, Mario Gold amiibo was available for pre-order on Amazon for a short period of time for a sum of 15.99$.
It's official sadly :'(

Not surprising, and not worth it.

damn son, I'd pass.
A lot of us did. I was met with many "it's already so much more than the States! They can't / won't do it." responses. Welcome to reality, people!

Mostly blaming them for putting all their CAD eggs in one oily basket.

I lived in Canada from '09-'12 and I thought games and other goods were expensive then.
Holy moly.
Holy moly.
They can't protect your interest level forever. Beware the Harper Hand of Doom.
Welp #$%.
I guess that's it buying Amiibo for me. They where already kind of expensive at the $13.99 price point since by the time you paid tax in Ontario it was $15.81....
$15.99 + tax will be $18.07 so effectively this is a $3 price hike
This will now make them as expensive as the large sized skylanders. At least with those they cost more because they are bigger then the normal sized ones.

Because people have some narrative that Canadian economy is so reliant on oil because of Harper.
When in reality it's not like it was 'diversified' before Harper, nor will it be after Harper.
The CAD was 62 cents US back in 2002 under the Liberals. I remember trying to buy an Xbox 360 at launch in 2005, it was like 499 CAD or some bullshit.
Harper was PM for a year, and the dollar bounced back and reached parity with the USD. Do people really believe that in a single year Harper single handedly made us oil dependent blah blah blah? Those oil fields existed long before Harper, and they only expanded under Harper because coincidentally the price of oil shot way up under Harper. He doesn't really have a ton to do with it.
The 'all our eggs in one basket' people are kind of crazy. Would've been the same under Liberals.

If games go up to 80$ I am hopping the fuck off of the console train for the foreseeable future. Sticking with PC and Steam.
The Liberals dug out us out of that 60'cent hole that Mulroney dumped us in. You know the PM who bailed on his party and left it to Kim Campbell (first woman PM yeah but c'mon) to see the ProCons be destroyed by Chretien. Harper was lucky when he came into power because of Canada not crumbling during the financial crisis (thanks to strict regulations made by Chrétien and Martin, yes Liberals), and Canada becoming a petrostate.
It also doesn't help that Harper picks fights with Putin when you know Russia is one of the bigger buyers of Canadian goods and materials.
Harper is so dead set on turning Canada into America Jr. and hell, he even did asinine and petty things, like changing the name of the Government of Canada to Harper Government, adding blue to many government related imagery because red is too Liberal to him, abandoned our legacy as peacekeepers as we are now a more aggressive hawk state like the US (no offence America bros but it's true), and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
