The other side of that equation is our tourism industry up here is suffering... Movie shoots up @ Hollywood north all but dried up also... lots of things folks don't think about...

Loonie is not strong simply because of commodities... (the easy answer) but also because of balanced budgets and a strong trend of government debt retirement... We suffered a lot of services loss to get that up here... infrastructure is in sore need of repair and newbuild...

The Black Swan

Edit: Selfishly after I pick up some US real estate a return to a strong greenback would be nice :O)

>>>Americans are too broke to leave home these days <<<

Thank God, considering what I have had to step over in some places. Maybe I will even revisit the Louvre Museum. I swore I would never go again after I was carried bodily past the Mona Lisa which I did NOT want to see (I was trying to get to some landscape paintings) by a riptide of what I would rather not call my fellow Americans. That's a fact. It was like a rock concert or a major fireworks display.
