<<Oh, OK. I have no idea, myself. The article I read said that up until 5 years ago Canadians used to go to US border towns to buy U.S. goods, and don't anymore, but maybe there's more to it, like tariffs, sales taxes or something. >> Yep, there's more to it. Ontario I know about or aboot depending on which language. The import duties were outta sight so even with cheaper dollars the Kanucks were buying US and sliding back home. Tires, radios..... Now remember the "giant sucking sound" Perot mentioned? NAFTA? Skips import duty. US doesn't have the VA tax.
