Canadian dollar is killing me

so my $40.00 in Canadian is worth $18.00 by the time it's all said and done?... oil ? how about ripp off

 

Your $40.00 CAN is worth around $28.81 US , low CAN dollar is hurting Imports to Canada as well as cross border shopping and Canadian exports are not setting any records.

As for OIL there are massive layoffs in the Canadian Oil industry in Western Canada

 

I know What I mean op,canada is very expensive.I pack of smokes was 14.00 and that's been years ago.think of the carriers that buy fuel which is why they want drivers to fill er up here in the states before crossing into Canada.

 

You think smokes are expensive in Canada, buy a pack in Manhattan.

 

Q. Why does the United States owe so much more than Canada ($17 trillion dollars vs $600+ billion)?

A. This is an unfair comparison when you consider that the U.S. economy is approximately 10 times larger than the Canadian economy.

It's a much fairer comparison to compare the "per capita" (per person) amount owed.

Each Canadian currently owes approximately $17,242.22 as their share of the Canadian national debt.

Each American currently owes approximately $61,866 as their share of the US national debt.

Yet, the dollar is still higher, amusing to say the least.

What about $16.00? I never did buy smokes in new York state.

 

Look at the bright side, A house that once would of cost you 400k American to buy in Canada now only cost 280k. always look at the positives. I have thought about moving to Canada, some of the crazy people we got in office now adays makes me want to jump the boarder.

 

Long Live The Queen....

 

I have dream
Canadian states, one by one declare independence, and join US.

 

................... O hell no! we have enough problems with Mexico, The bright side is tho we like you guys. We tolerate the other boarder.
