So basically, making the Canada exception apply across the world?

Previously, to quote an earlier example, I buy in Australia ex Japan, I pay the Australia price even though Japan is cheaper, even though leaving from Japan. (This is morally wrong).

Canada exception allowed me to purchase in Canafa ex-Japan at ex-Japan rates. (This is morally right).

If there is no longer a mention of country of sale vs country of origin, is there finally a recognition that we have a global economy, and that it doesn't matter where we buy our tickets from?
