Looks like the Canadian dollar and US dollar are now equal, so us US folk are no longer getting a deal buying from up north.

Very likely so.

Not to sure it was ever a "deal" anyway with shipping.

This is just going to make it harder for Canadian vendors to compete with US vendors.

I didn't mean that in a bad way, I've always enjoyed my exchanges with you canuks..

I hope it doesn't hurt the economy up there, I just figured the difference in currency would encourage the US buyers to buy from up north, did me.

I certainly was enjoying it when 1 of your dollars was good for 1.50 of ours

I spend a few weeks in Montreal each summer (love seeing all the cool VWs--Passat Syncro 16V...). This visit it was odd not having the value bump I'd grown used to in these past 20 years or so.

Still a better deal than the Euro exchange rate though...
