I haven't seen advertising in the papers/flyers saying "New Lower Price: we pass the currency savings along to you!" or something to that affect. This is the reason that I find difficult to say that people should be using the low US$ to buy new equipment. That's fine if you are buying direct from the US but many companies sell their products through Canadian channels which have not changed their prices.

Thats because most of us in the Import Biz buy US $ futures, so we dont see the savings yet.
And if not "what are you nuts" we are going to buy a new Porsche! :
