Just want to throw in my $0.02 as a Canadian, but I haven't had any issues with counterfeit goods in the 4 years I've been buying things (mainly electronics) from Amazon. I also haven't heard anything (first hand) about others receiving counterfeit goods either. On that note, while I have no idea how Amazon.com works, on .ca it is pretty clear on a product page whether or not the item is sold/shipped by Amazon or a 3rd party. Whether or not this has any bearing re. counterfeit goods, I generally recommended people buy the "Sold and Shipped by Amazon.ca" option even if a 3rd party's listing is cheaper.
