It's been like this in Toronto for atleast a decade. Even on the used market i found dealers were really, really tight, might give up $300 but that is it.

The only exception was the X3 which surprised me a bit. It's loaded to the gills, 3T engine etc, had 30,000KM (20,000 miles) and was advertised at $39K which is about $45k with taxes and fees. They agreed to CPO it, replace the tyres and let us drive away for $42K. I was pretty stressed though, two crying kids etc and said to the guy look, $42K drive away seems fair but i am not negotiating, as you can see i need to get out of here.
