The supposed benefit for consumers of the rising CAD is that it could buy more imported goods at a lower cost as most imports are denominated in USD. I haven't seen any drop in prices of groceries imported from the USA nor have I seen that in electronic goods or vehicles manufactured in the USA. Have you seen any evidence of this supposed benefit for consumers? My guess is that the 25 cent rise over the last 2 years have been eaten by the middleman. They have pocketed the money and did not pass it onto you and I.
