    Why is it cheaper to call Asia than Canada?

      I just checked out Shaw’s website thinking that maybe the above only applied to a certain plan but it’s clear that it costs 2 cents/minute to phone China and 4 cents to the US and Canada no matter what plan you have. From a technical standpoint should there really be a need for any differences?
