Would you prefer US programs pay you $35CAD a sale? Pure genius, the lot of you.
How about the Canadians in my hometown, the one with a 70% unemployment rate because their largest industry shut down due to the horrible exchange rate because it was no longer economically viable to operate in Canada? Do they have any right to bitch?

If you lost 40-50% of your income just because the greenback was devalued, I'm sure you'd be posting about it too.
