At CAD1.40=USD1.00, is it worth the bother?

Has anyone with an eye on originating OWE ex-Canada taken notice of the precipitous drop in the exchange rate? There seems to be a penny-a-day slide doing on.

I have't checked the real prices, but it "feels" as if, given that there's a cost in getting there, it's almost not worth the trouble for a 4-continent A. (Biting tongue to avoid getting into politics...)

[If I did the lookup/math correctly, the difference between CA and US fares at CAD1.40=US$1.00, assuming you pay by c/c and suffer a 1% forex fee, for AONE3...6 are:
US$537, $732, $405, $463.]
