It is.

Although I'm increasingly skeptical of that argument, as Canadian publishers are able to make a profit tailoring textbooks to a single province, which is a lot smaller than all-America-except-Texas.

As an example:

Nelson publishes textbooks for just Ontario and just BC. They even publish textbooks for fairly small courses (possibly one section in a bigger school) so very low numbers, but they still manage to be profitable. And there are three other publishers competing for the same markets.
