The loonie is worth about 80 cents. Its just falling back to fair value.

Drop baby drop. I don't shop down south, but my company sure likes to sell there.

It wouldn't surprise me if companies start jacking up prices and using this as an excuse. It won't do manufacturing much good since our biggest customer is in the poor house.

If it stays low for any amount of time this is going to be bad news for our Canadian NHL teams again, since salaries are paid in U.S. dollars.

I'd be more concerned about the teams paying salaries in U.S. dollars but collecting ticket revenue in Canadian dollars.
