The rise of the CDN$ has been great for me

I pay for most of my airline tickets in USD because I depart from BUF, and a typical west coast round trip now costs me less than $300 Cdn. It also means I have more spending money when I travel abroad. I hope it rises to .80 by the end of the year

There's no better time for this to be happening just before the winter season, when most of the produce in our supermarkets is imported.

I think the rising dollar is a wake up call for Canadian companies to become more productive. Hopefully it will also diminish the influence of unions and "old school" way of thinking. Canada needs to focus on creating wealth in Canada. Strong currency, low taxes, and less socialism would achieve great things for everyone.
