>>>Yes, but if the Canuckistani dollar goes up faster than the resource prices, there can be a crunch in margins.<<

So far it hasn't. Just in terms of energy, oil and natural gas have doubled (in USD) while the loonie has gone up about 30%.

I see the loonie partly as a commodity-backed currency. I agree with Buffet on the future of the USD.

Anyway, I like to be paid in loonies. The margins are someone else's problem. Actually anything imported for business purposes gets cheaper and cheaper for Canadians. A strong currency is not a bad problem to have.
