talking about shipping...

the Chinese export so much to Canada, that many boats are charging crazy low fees in order to fill their boats on their trip back to China.

For example: China -> middle of Quebec (coming from Vancouver) is 5000 US$ / container

middle of quebec -> China (going from Vancouver) is 1200 US$ / container

these prices include shipping by rail to/from Vancouver.

Canadians should export to China (easier said than done)

The problem is, other countries will try to avoid importing from Canada as well since it's more expensive than it has been in the past. It's not just the US that is affected.

83.55 and climbing.

it now costs $1.19 for a US dollar

Quite the difference from $1.68 2 years ago
