A Dewalt DWP611 costs me $128.99 USD with free shipping and it can be on my doorstop by 4AM.

I’m sorry that you live in a country with an economy is managed such that that the same motor costs you more than double, but you are the outlier in this dataset.

Maybe next year when the tariffs kick in, we in the US can be lucky enough to pay 269 USD for something that costs 129 USD currently.

Oh okay, you call routers "motors"; that's what threw me off.

But yeah, price-gouging in Canada is nothing new; even factoring exchange rates it should be ~180 CAD.
