On the subject of writing off Canadian bidders, sellers should consider that in auctions you want as many bidders as possible to achieve the highest auction result. The population of Canada is about the same as the State of California. Would you want to write off bidders from the State of California? Another fact to consider is that Canada's economy over the last couple years has been (at least by some measures) stronger than the US economy. Canadians are spending more freely than Americans. And the exchange rate movement has made it more affordable for Canadians to buy items priced in US dollars.
All that said, if a seller feels like writing off the market of a whole country...feel free to lose money!
