Fuck the prime minister says he's going to legalize small amounts of weed and follows up with "hey hey, now don't start smoking it allready guy" and our dollar is somehow higher?

LadyMischief · 05-01-2003, 09:18 AM

Grrr.. I don't want the dollar higher. I make less money that way *grumps*

Thrawn$ · 05-01-2003, 09:21 AM

Thats not cool! less money in my pocket.

Damn loonie is really pissing me off lately

kad · 05-01-2003, 09:25 AM

Same is happening with the Aussie Dollar

A month ago it US$1 = A$0.60. Now its almost 63 cents. Means I lose about $40 on an average contract. However, the new figure skates im about my girlfriend are $65 cheaper

hayesone · 05-01-2003, 09:29 AM

For Canadians, this is the worst conversion rate in years. The stronger the Canadian dollar, the less our US-issued paychecks are worth.

Bah.

Perhaps I shouldn't wish my country's economy was doing worse so that I could make a few more bucks, but I do, I do.

Of course, since it's all relative, perhaps I could simply wish that the US economy would just do better.

C'mon Bush... fewer porn laws, more economic initiatives.

Mutt · 05-01-2003, 09:33 AM

damn right, this sucks - i have decision to make, lotta money in a U.S. currency account, think it's time to move it.

best thing for Canucks in this business was the crappy dollar exchange.

Question is how much higher will the loonie go, and will we get a retracement before it goes higher to be able to convert those greenbacks to loonies at a better rate?

The Canadian dollar will be back down in no time. This is just a hiccup.

asuna · 05-01-2003, 09:42 AM

So let me get this straight.

You guys actually want your dollar to remain below US currency and care not about your COMMONWEALTH but only about US exchange rates, just so you make more money?

hahaha

funny.

I think you about hit the nail on the head there, Fletch. Hell, our country has a high standard of living! We've already PROVEN we don't need a high dollar to live well! Why does the dollar have to go and rise? It's blasphemy, that's what it is!

so the big question is,do you hold on to u.s funds,or transfer over to canadian?

I'd like to know how so? Considering I spend my money in Canada and contribute to the Canadian economy, as well as paying my taxes. I do just fine for myself thank you very much. Or do you remember I run mainstream businesses as well? My supplies are bought from CANDIAN suppliers. How is making a bit of extra money a bad thing?

Oh and as a side note, I was speaking generically, as in our economy seems to be doing well with a lower Canadian dollar value. I wasn't speaking personally. Next time, try a little tact, eh dear? :P

hayesone · 05-01-2003, 10:15 AM

By the way, I think a large part of the reason the Canadian dollar appears to be rising is because the US dollar is dropping.

I don't want Canada's economy to do worse, but as long as I get paid in US dollars, I want the US economy to stop fucking up.

No, you said you were not speaking personally, but about the economy.

Nothing about the economy. You're avoiding.

Monk · 05-01-2003, 10:34 AM

Well, the exchange rate is based on relativity. The Canadian economy doesn't need to go in the shitter for the dollar to stay low..... it just need to maintain its current relative performance to the US economy.

That said.... the US dollar is going into the shitter. You will probably look back at todays exchange rates in 4-5 years and wonder how we had it so good. IMO

Sorry Fletch, but you have no idea what you're talking about. Canada's economy relies on a weak dollar because it attracts investment from places like the United States. US companies spend a ton of money in Canada precisely because it's a better deal for them. The weak Canadian dollar is what puts food on Canadian tables. We are not the United States. We are essentially a branch plant economy and as such need to attract foreign (US) investment. If the Canadian dollar rises too high, it will discourage this investment.

Fletch XXX · 05-01-2003, 10:36 AM

Maybe if you guys legalize, and the US dollar goes down, I'll move to Canada too!

We can all be Canadian in this motherfucker!!

Yep.. Like Masked Man said, it makes our products less appealing to the US market, there are a lot of US companies that have branches up here to keep costs lower, etc. AMEN.
