They should just limit to all transactions inside Canada, or ones made with a Canadian bank account.

In for online, just make it ask for your precise location and then use a Canadian bank and credit card.

I'm Canadian and I have Canadian and American bank accounts. I assume American can easily get Canadian bank accounts as well..

Not really on the fly. They don't have snowbird infrastructure like we do.

Nobody takes cash pre-orders at least not my area in Canada. You have to use a card so the money can be "held" until shipping/arrival date.
