Interesting what kind of economic impact it has. If I recall correctly from my Pol. Sci/Soc. Studies weak dollar means that it may have a stimulating effect on economy for exports (seeling to other countries), however TOTALY sucks for imports.

Like this morning I was looking at some rare vinyl on eBay and it would cost me almost $50!!!! to buy it from UK. However, at the same time I can hike up a price on my rare vintage synth and sell it to some sucker, erm....... I mean BUYER in UK for about $1000 more than I could have sold it if I were selling to someone in US. To them it's a bargain because it would be MUCH cheaper than what they sell for in UK due to currency fluctuations.

GLOBAL VILLAGE BABY!!! YAAAAAAY!

More for y'all.

"Early in the afternoon, the loonie was up 0.69 of a cent to 94.18 cents US after going as high as 94.36 cents US. The latest surge comes after a prediction from CIBC World Markets economists (TSX:CM) that the Canadian dollar will be worth as much as the greenback by the end of this year. That last happened in November 1976."

It's nuts!

America needs their dollar to drop so they can begin to compete with China and its incredibly cheap cost of producing almost anything

No disrespect to China in any way, but it seems that too many businesses, especially in the U.S., use the Chinese as slave-like labour manufacturing due the the incredibly low wages. Look at how the flood of these businesses move/open plants in China to produce their goods.

Don't buy the hype. A study done by Harvard recently concluded that the Canadian system costs far less per person and delivers superior health care then does the system in the US.

That's true. Look here in Canada. Shamefully noticing how too many East Indians are being treated very much like the U.S. treats it's Mexican imports by managing to get them to do many of the jobs that the locals don't really want to do at low budget wages. I'm not sure about the Mexican situation, but there are many qualified doctors, engineers, etc, that are forced to to cleaning jobs and such because Canada (maybe U.S. too?) won't honor their degree's from back in their home country. Unless they re-school here... which many can't because of funds.

Yup. Looks like I was right about the benefits of "weak" dollar:

I remember being in a McDonalds once a year or so ago. An Indian woman from England placed and order and when she recieved nearly $1 in change back she just left it on the counter. Someone said to her, "Miss, you forgot your change!" and her reply was, "Oh no, that's nothing where I'm from."

Most Americans would have been glad to take back 93 cents in change. I can't blame her though.
