Canadian dollar is now worth more than the US dollar.
Discuss.
theres something to discuss?
The £ > all though, so we win :bigsmile:
Yeah it's a pretty big economic *kaboom*
Yeah the pound is above all. 2x our dollar.
I have like £30 i've been holding onto for a year and a half now waiting for the time to convert them to massive us monies.
I kinda wish I would've invested in canadian money now.
Woo-hoo!Darn, if only I was going to the US sometime soon. :(
Depends on where you live really...And how fast you drive.
Yeah, that's what you naughty children get for trying to strike out on your own with your "independence" and "freedom" nonsense, an inferior currency!Quote:

What has science done? :(
At least we're still better at killing the poor with our lack of national health coverage. :monster:
Buy us bacon then.

Still, I've heard some mixed reviews from our standpoint. This may prove to provide new challenges our economy as well.
Why? Your money won't be as much!Quote:

Damn, Canada's not far from my school. Shoulda invested, I need more money.
This means Americans will be less likely to visit Canada, much as has happened in Europe. And despite the weakening dollar, the average US citizen still holds a great deal of wealth and there's a good amount of income to be had with tourists.
This is good news. Now I can shop the whole continent at par and get a ton of selection. :)
Yesssss. Shop American! We need your Canadian money to fund our various overseas enterprises.Quote:

The norwegian krone is stronger than the swedish krone and has been that way for a few years now :D Denmark, you're next~! The country, not the member. or maybe the member too!
I've always known Canada could do it. They're bigger and on top. It's just a fact of life really.
Not too long ago the Canadian dollar was almost equal the the NZ dollar. Now it's worth way more. Crazy fresh.
Money is no object if you steal things. ;[
nah, Canadia already overtook me.Quote:

I totally should have. I could've almost doubled my monies. The NZ dollar has been getting stronger against the US dollar recently but it might have levelled out a bit now. :p
it can't really go anywhere but up though! how does nz$ compare to uk£?
Wow, what a difference. American dollar 1 vs Canadian dollar 1.0022. You would have to buy a lot of Canadian dollars just to make a one dollar profit :p

Not as low as it has been, but not at all close in value. 1 GBP is about 2.75 NZD.
