Canadian Dollar Continues to Rise

[bjarvis]

At the moment, I see the Canadian dollar hitting $0.9024. I believe that's the highest its been since 1977. It's making our May trip to Vancouver a little more expensive but I'm more worried about what the valuation will do to Canadian exports and thus to the rest of the economy.

Only a couple of years ago, many were jokingly calling it the Canadian peso...

I found the article "What's behind the rise of the Canadian dollar?" an interesting read.

As for your trip, yeah it'll be more expensive and it'll be worth it. :)

I'm looking forward to it... I haven't been back to Canada in almost two years so I'm in withdrawal. :-)

Well with a job as fabulous and low-stress as yours, I don't know that I'd want to go back either. /snicker

The next photo of me will likely be one of me grasping a lamp post on the Canadian side of the border with Kent pulling me by my feet towards the US. :-^
