first of all, i don’t identify as latino, sorry!!! but anyway when i talk about mexico being treated the same way as canada, i mean, for example when it comes to prices, canada and usa have both of their dollars on the back of stuff, like if you bought a book in canada in the back it would say “10 usd/10 cad”, but no mexican currency? isn’t mexico also the neighbor and both nations have good ties?? it should be treated with the same level of important stuff

    I think it’s a question of language. If you’re a publisher printing an English language book in Canada, you can expect to sell it to English readers in the US and Canada, so it is efficient to print the price for both on the same printing run. You would probably expect not to be selling books in English in countries where the primary language is not English. In other words, probably for the same reason that English language books don’t have the price for Spain or China.

      absolutely this, here in Austria most of our books are obviously written in German, so many of them have prices for Germany, Austria and sometimes Switzerland on them, but obviously not for other neighboring countries because the books for them are written in Italian, Slovak, etc.
