It is !! Last week it was like 1.12

I heard economists talk on the radio that by the end
of 2007 CND dollars will match US or maybe a difference of only couple

isn't that a nightmare ?
YAAAAAAArrrrrrgh

**CherryLipsRosa** · 03-09-2006, 01:15 PM

Yup, when that happens, I move south of the border. No point in paying higher taxes and getting paid the same.

"I go to a special Foreign Exchange Company and i got 1.152"

Mind telling me what company?

**StuartD** · 03-10-2006, 04:10 AM

I still get 1.5 exchange since Natalie is an RBC employee. But I know that won't last forever.

**Vitasoy** · 03-10-2006, 04:17 AM

1.139 is what my bank currently shows. Still better then a few days ago though

**Brad Gosse** · 03-10-2006, 04:21 AM

Yeah watching the dollar is depressing. I am trying to get as many receivables in this week as I can to get my rate up.

Nice to see it heading back up again.

**wedouglas** · 03-10-2006, 05:08 AM

damn it. i loved the days of 1.5 to 1 :/

**Brad Gosse** · 03-10-2006, 06:44 AM

My best rate ever was $1.66

I would kill for that rate now

**Pete-KT** · 03-10-2006, 06:50 AM

corporate taxes are lower in Canada, and personal income taxes are getting lower too.

Plus there's no partiot act in canada

**tranza** · 03-10-2006, 10:36 AM

You mean 1.15

If she's getting you 1.5, someone is going to jail.

Is corporate tax really lower than US corporate tax rates? I didn't know that.

https://www.fxdealing.cibc.com/index.jsp

Signed up for an account last year. Usually gets you a point or some better than the teller rates. The more you trade, the better the rate.

Just checked and you can sell 10,000usd at 1.1526.

Been buying daily now for 3 days...looks like today will be the top out point. Hard to say if it will stay this strong through the weekend or not...

**King Adam** · 03-10-2006, 12:22 PM

Maybe I should go to Canada today and change over 10K or so.

Do you really think the rate will be even by the end of the year .. even money?

**webgurl** · 03-10-2006, 12:24 PM

or i got to a place called custom house currency located in vancouver
downtown , bc

5

.
Gofor it
