yeah this price increase is horrible for us canucks!
Why spend money when this game is free? ; )
I don't get why people are so ignorant ... Cmpanies don't make games for fun they make them to make money. The free aspect is the lure to attract people to try - they give an opportunity for people to play for free with limitations. How big the limitations depends on the game and maker. For the most part spending money either gains you access to things you would not have otherwise (ie characters) OR the money is spent to reduce time (ie clash of clans).
Guessing it is because of how pitiful our CDN dollar is doing right now.
naturally, EA will drop the price if the dollar suddenly got boosted and even got above parity like it did many years ago since companies always drop prices after bumping them up because of poor dollar value. Yes, that was a joke.
Still $22.99CAD +tax on the Android version through Google play, the same price it's been since I began playing on December 1st. Given the current posted exchange rate, it's actually quite a bargain.
Just bought a pack and can confirm that is indeed still the price. I expect the Play store to adjust at some point soon as well. Our dollar is weak due to a combination of low global commodity prices and relatively high debt to GDP ratio.

cosmicturtle gave a comparison of pricing differences between different countries/regions.

And I enjoy both, access and saving time
