The Canadian dollar has often hovered around an exchange rate of 0.7 so $36 CAD Legends are essentially the same as a $25 USD Legend. It's all relative to what the local collector community has been subjected to when it comes to "worth." Action figures have also just about left the younger generation behind and it's a market of mostly adults and their disposable income. Whether its 25, 30, or even 50, that's still not a huge sum of money by itself for a little entertainment. If I want to take my kids to the movies these days that night is about the equivalent of 3 Legends, or 1 really good action figure. And finding a concert ticket at an arena for under 100 bucks is becoming impossible plus all of the other expenses that come with a night out.
The thing with media bias is to avoid the outright, blatant, propaganda networks (Rupert Murdoch is not shy about admitting why he created Fox News) and avoid any of those talking head programs because they're opinion pieces. The right in this country has also pretty successfully convinced a lot of the general population of a liberal media bias, when most outlets are actually owned by open conservatives. And the ones that aren't get attacked for reporting truthful news by the current administration so they tiptoe around news and water it down to try and placate both sides and to keep Trump from retaliating against them, which often doesn't work anyway. The New York Times is a great example of a newspaper that's attacked for being liberal that tries to overcompensate with wishy-washy headlines and phrasing to try and placate the right. It's basically unreadable at this point.
