I'm not an economist, but I play one on FlyerTalk.

First thing I learned in Economics 100 -- ask 5 economists and you'll get 5 different answers. Six, if one went to Harvard.

As always whenever there is a major change in an economy, there will be winners and there will be losers. But I too am struck about all the whining and complaining I've heard over the years about the low Canadian dollar, only to be replaced with whining and complaing about the high dollar. (Remember when the C$ was worth ~$1.07 USD, about 1976?) (BTW, I'm not suggesting anyone here is whining -- which is quite a change, from usual.)

To me it's just another change, like any number of other changes that are inevitable in life. A change I will adapt to.
