: Since World Panel is in Florida, their sheets must have a higher moisture
: content?

Actually it is a tax issue Chris.

Instead of paying taxes in cash our Canadian supplier must be paying in goods. Thats why they call it the Goods and Services Tax. So that after trimming the plywood sheets and mailing the edges to Ottawa the 4 X 8 sheet is not quite 4 X 8 (sort of like the dimensions of 2 X 4s). This results in lighter Canadian plywood sheets.
