the canadian loonie is now priced at $1.00786us for the weekend.

that means our dollar is over 3/4 of a cent more then the US dollar. adding the fact that the US have lower prices then canada, that's a lot of buying power for us.

road trip anyone?

oh wait...i almost forgot........the expo is on sunday.

US or expo?...US or expo?...US or expo?........shit!

So if the loonie continues to be equal if not greater than the american dollar; who's planning to travel down to the states for some Black Friday shopping?

...Not I; US stores are nuthouses on Black Friday. Pretty amazing deals to be had mind you, but the hassle might not even be worth it.

I think I'm gonna head down south just before the Manitoba Comiccon in October. On a related note, late last week I was almost shocked when while cashing out at the liquor barn the US exchange on our cash out was 0%. It was as if time stopped for a moment as we all took a second to breath in the moment at work. Yippee!!! You should hear all the Americans complaining in the liquor barn

I think I may just going to have to take that chance...

edit: [a bit off-topic, sorry] what's the date of the manitoba comic-con again? the week before haloween?
I'm still debating whether I should go or not...

It ain't going to come crashing down, even if the US gets its act together the most we'll lose is a few cents making it .9583 or however that works. Our dollar is going to stay par or near par for at least a while I'd imagine.
