Grizzly has huge parking lot sales events a couple of times a year. If only I live a bit closer, I would hook up a trailer and go hunt for bargains.

Captinjohn, about Canadian sources for lathes, the only one I read about was some alternate models Busy Bee imported. I think they are more or less just variants of similar Chinese made tools you'll find here in the US. http://www.busybeetools.com/ Not sure about saving any money though. The current exchange rate is about 0.9 to 1. That yellow lathes you showed looks just like the 8-1/2 x 18 Harborfreight used to sell. Again, it's probably just another Chinese lathe you can find somewhere else.
