Also luxury cars in the US are about 25-30% cheaper too ,
some dealers are not allowed to sell to Canada a well .
You'll see the Bank of Canada drop rates to force the dollar lower if need be. The country depends far to much on exports, manufacturing and tourism to have the dollar this strong.

I'm the same as you, I didn't cash my USD when the Dollar hit $2 to £1, I thought it was just temporary and it would come back under. How wrong was I!? I'm just using that money now to pay my business bills. No way in hell am I changing it to british pounds.

This is too funny. People who make decisions on their money from watching the market day to day will always lose their shirt. Guaranteed
This is a lot more than a day to day fluctuation... look at gold prices, historically a jump like this in gold generally gives a pretty clear indication of two things, a falling dollar and recession.
I'd like to see it get back up to at least par with the Canadian dollar, but I don't see that happening soon.

Many of us get checks in the EU or the UK on a daily basis -we are not talking investment strategy here.......
Daily movements can make a big difference to affiliates this side of the pond. Thats why you see so many posts about it on here. Most of us probably wouldnt notice or care otherwise.
" Chinese officials signaled plans to diversify the nation's $1.43 trillion of foreign exchange reserves...T he dollar is ``losing its status as the world currency,'' Xu Jian, a central bank vice director, We will favor stronger currencies over weaker ones, and will readjust accordingly,''
... China is the second-largest holder of U.S. government debt after Japan"
it is understood now that the downslide can speed up from here and the $ may lose another 10-25% value very rapidly
i say invest in gold guys
if dollar drops at least gold will be up
“The U.S dollar's global currency status is shaky and the creditworthiness of dollar assets is falling,” said Mr. Xu, who noted he was speaking in a personal capacity.
He said he expected the dollar to weaken further in 2008 under the impact of the gaping U.S. trade deficit. That could push the price of gold to $1,000 an ounce from a 28-year peak of $840 scaled on Wednesday, Mr. Xu said.
