<What's the employment market look like for a beaten up investor in Vancouver? > from an investment standpoint, canada's exchange rate appears to be a show stopper. i hope i don't offend my friends like ike and D by saying so, but that is my concern. it just seems to keep drifting lower. i don't follow canadian developments much (sorry again guys :( ), but it would appear to me that canada's exchange rate probs stem from its penchant for social welfare spending combined with the fact that as a country with a modest population, it must import a fair amount of goods. classic inflo/outflow imbalance. of course as gst aptly points out, the US has that prob as well. but the US has the advantage so far of attracting foreign investors as a safe haven if for no other reason. Canada does not have that advantage. hence its drifting downward exchange rate..... :( i mean, heck, the stuff up there (hotel rooms, restaurant meals, consumer goods, etc) are a steal ! and yet the canadian dollar keeps getting cheaper..... i hope i'm not offending my friends in my favorite country. am really interested in all viewpoints on this. regards, rob
