| A strong dollar is not always a good thing especially canadian businesses who sell most of their products outside of the country....not good for the automobile industry..u heard GM closing their night shift assembly line in Oshawa because nobody is buying cars here because of the strong dollar...peeps are actually buying their cars in the states...so its a double edge sword. US juss lowered their interest rate recently...their economy can't be that healthy. |

Ya, totally.
I heard if you skipped on your bills they'd call you all night long or send guys to yell at you in the street, or maybe they just paid hobos, who knows. |
