No. What you're facing is a strong USD/weak CAD. While Steam has regional pricing (fixed prices in different currencies regardless of exchange rates), GOG doesn't, so even if it allows buying in CAD, the rates would be updated regularly and you'd still be paying more.
Conversion fees are about 1.75%. They would hardly account for the difference.

It's showing as $46.99 for me too, but I have no idea where you're getting the +25% from. The exchange rate is 1 CAD = .7 USD, or 1 USD = 1.43 CAD.

Including the conversion fee I'm looking at nearly 71 CAD to buy The Witcher III on GOG.

That's not the point.

Why can Russians - who, on account of the ruble's dire straights, I believe at this point have unofficially reverted to their former currency: vodka and threats - buy games on GOG using the Ruble and yet Canadians can't even use the CAD?

It's not even about the 1.75% fee; it's just insulting.

Sorry, but that joke simply isn´t good... :(

"Pick up" is a dumb expression which reeks of class privilege. It's time I called out someone on it.

OK, but...

a) Your initial post was about the price difference, which is mostly caused by Steam's regional pricing and not by the conversion fees due to GOG not accepting CAD. In fact in your first post that 67.24 CAD didn't factor the conversion fees at all, only later did you include it and came up with nearly 71 CAD.
So, putting aside whether GOG should accept rubles, you do see that the main reason for price difference has nothing to do with GOG accepting CAD? Even if GOG did accept it, they'd be using the exchange rate to calculate the CAD price, and you'll still be finding it more expensive here.

b) When the dollar was weak few years ago, nobody was "strongly considering getting the game on Steam just out of principle". For some strange reason, back then people didn't mind being "insulted" with lack of CAD payment if it meant they could get the game here at the exchange rate and pay the exchange fees thus escaping Steam's regional pricing. Now when the USD got stronger, all of a sudden we get this kind of threads few once a week from Canadians who claim it's the principle of the thing. Weird, how all of a sudden they've become more principled, huh?

What the hell are you talking about? This is just a normal expression "every" child will lern in school...

I see u lerned speling good to.

Ahh, that is the question then. Which principle do you find more important: your fight against Steam's monopolization, or your fight against currency woes?

I would also weight both of those against "Gotta have it now". For me, I'd wait for a sale to get it here. There will likely be a Spring sale in a month or two, followed by a Summer sale, and so on.

In the meantime, more currencies may be added. Remember that gOg is significantly smaller than Steampowered so it is not as easy to cover the fixed costs that come with offering more currencies. Give it time, though, and the CAD might become an option.

That's not correct. Most Western and Southern European countries have to pay $65.39, people from the UK even have to pay $72.59. Other countries like Canada ($46.99), Brazil ($44.99) and Eastern Europe ($43.59) get a massive discount, not to speak about Russia ($15.79).

CDPR and GOG stopped to care about the "one world, one price" mantra a long time ago (even if I have to admit that the Fair price package is quite nice).

If GOG games are too expensive for you, save your money and wait for upcoming sales. Just don't miss big discounts.

Off-topic, but I have to ask since you're not the only one I've seen doing this: why do you spell GOG like this (gOg)? Is it some kind of personal statement? (in that you prefer the Old games rather than more recent ones)

Exactly that, though there are plenty of good new games that I've enjoyed.

Thanks! ;)

I understand all of that; none of that is news to me. I never claimed the price difference was the result of GOG not accepting CAD. Well, ask those other Canadians back then. What does that have to do with me? I'd have complained then just as I am now.
