so what our dollar is worth more, we still get fucked on the pricing for everything. according to mclean's magazine (canada's newsweek, sort of) canadians pay on average 24% more for goods than americans. So all a high dollar means to me is i'm getting fucked more.

even things that are made in canada cost less in the states. cars, atvs, fuck even wings and horns, I can buy that shit cheaper online and get it shipped in from the states for less than i can get it here, and i'm only 40 minutes from the damn factory they make it.

although I do get to go to the samples sales.

I'm heading up to Windsor this weekend and this is definitely not something I wanted to hear. Oh well.

I'll gladly accept the exchange rate for my ability to legally gamble and drink.

Gotta love Canada.

windsor is one greasy city let me tell you. The Casino is not all that special, I suggest you dont stay long. Legends is pretty cool inside the Casino tho if you wanna watch sports while you put in a proline and cheer hard as fuck for your teams. Vodoo is hooker central if your lookin to pound ass but if your looking to keep it classy I suggest The Beer Market and Papa Cheneys which overlooks the water (both have very good beer on tap).

Appreciation is not the best thing for Canada tho, yea our dollar is worth more but if the west keeps kicking ass and taking names and the dollar keeps going up, no countrys gonna wanna buy our exports (except oil) and we're gonna run into a big ass trade deficit..

actually, yes it does

you have no idea what you are talking about

My economics professor, with 40-ish years under his belt made this statement, not me. He explained it with lots of waving of the hands and shit like that, but it boils down to the fact that it really doesn't matter at all. It'll rebound.

The end.
