Title: How Long Before the Canadian Dollar is Worth More than the American Dollar?
Post by: Flannel Boy on June 06, 2007, 12:27:52 AM

The Canadian dollar is now worth 94.07 cents US, around a 30 year high, and up from just 61.79 cents US in early 2002.

Facts: Canada has a trade surplus, an oil surplus, and a budget surplus. America... not so much.

Well, they say fresh water is going to be one of the most sought after commodities in the future. And apparently Canada has the most....

As a canuck, I couldnt be happier. I remember when going in vacation to the states basically raped your funds. Paying 1.5x for everything = no fun.

The only downside is that this hurts our exports.

I remember going to Canada a whole bunch of times back in 1999-2003 when I attended college at UB, back when the loonie was around .65 American dollars. I'd go up to NF and Toronto and piss the money away on booze (the drinking age being 19 is a godsend when you are in college), clubs, and CDs. Imagine my shock last year when I went to Vancouver and the loonie was now worth .91!
