Actually, that's not a joke - I bet there are hordes of
Canadians now in Plattsburg, Detroit, Spokane, and other bordering
cities and towns, even driving down to shop for food every week. 25-30%
discount, add no 14% sales tax (GST + PST) to that as well.
Most Canadians live 50 miles or so away from US border. USD
exchange rate dropped a lot more than ppp. They were there
in the early 90-s -g-

After waiting five hours, Deason said she left the bus to ask
a Canadian border guard about the delay. Deason said she was
shocked by the response from the guard.

"He expressed very loudly, 'It'll take hours and hours and
hours. Thank you for contributing to the U.S. economy, but I
hope you got a good deal.'"

In a news segment recently aired on Buffalo's WGRZ-TV, the
station said Canadian shoppers have raised the region's sales
tax revenue by five per cent.
