Seeing as the U.S. dollar is crumbling, and Canada is now equal in that regard, why is there still price diffe

Books are 22.99 Canadian, and 14.99 American, doesn't make much sense to me

Answer:
First, the US dollar is not "crumbling" The Canadian dollar is still only equal to U.S. 95 cents. Where did you get that 22.99 vs 14.99 price comparison. If that were true I imagine you would see an awful lot of cross-border shipment of books.

When things don't make sense to you, the first thing you should do is double-check what you think you "know" about those things. Then, if you have solid evidence of the conflict, take it to someone directly involved with it and ask what's going on.
The fall of the US Dollar is a government plan. They want it to fail so they will have more support to change our currency to Amero's.
Not all aspects of the market are in sync with each other. For example, gas prices...

When oil prices change, it takes a few months for that to hit our fuel stations.

Money market can fluctuate quite a bit, so I'd say it's best to take an average to base the retail prices on rather than try to change every day. Much easier.
the current exchange rate is 1.05 so it doesn't make sense if you are operating in real time. However, books are printed way in advance and cannot keep up with variations in the current exchange rate. Maybe you should go to the bank and change to USD and buy the book with USD.
