It's all about supply and demand, currencies as well as commodities. In the long run it is generally better for the Canadian economy to have its dollar slightly devalued compared to the U.S. dollar. It makes Canada's exports more attractive. Edited by ImaHeadaU, Mar 23 2016, 10:54 AM.

The snowbirds who purchased property around 2008 - 2010 have made a windfall especially in Canadian dollars. |

That's probably BS because most of them buy either RVs or park models and they both lose value. |

Lets see, under Clinton (a liberal) we had a surplus. Under Bush II (conservative) tax cuts for his wealthy puppet masters and two wars on the credit card. And, a bail out of wall street precipitated by letting the banks regulate themselves. Deficits dropping under Obama. Seems you got it backwards Pat. The big GOP lie is that tax cuts pay for themselves and stimulate economic growth. Backwards again, it is spending that stimulates the economy. |
