Will Amazon.ca soon just be Amazon?

According to a Globe and Mail article, Amazon's fight to build in Canada is sparking up again:

The rising tension between Canadian booksellers and Amazon underlines the paradox in federal policy that allows Amazon to run a virtual business – Amazon.ca – as long as it does not have a physical presence in the country.

... For consumers, Amazon's proposed new business could be a benefit if the e-tailer were to pass on operational savings to customers. The “fulfilment centre” it wants to launch is believed to be part of Amazon's move to cut costs by moving shipping in-house. Currently, Amazon has a distribution deal with a Canada Post subsidiary.

Of course, the usual "let's protect Canadian culture" claptrap is involved.
