• 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.

• 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 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...
