I know the company I now work for now refuses to ship to Canada- though we have shipped to several smaller countries in Africa and South America (where I assumed the postal system would be less effective- it isn't).

Also, most of the problems you mention about indy retailers in Canada I've heard from the FLGS in the US. Like Killkrazy mentioned, a lot of blisters have gone to direct only everywhere, not just Canada. I think this is a bad idea, but not particularly caused by the creation of GWNA.
