$1 US = $1 CAD - it is pretty much a done deal - GoFuckYourself.com

RawAlex · 09-18-2007, 06:20 AM

With the bank's typical 2 cent per dollar service charge, it is pretty much a done deal this morning, as the CAD is about to hit 98 cents (currently 0.97826 according to XE).

*sigh*

When is the porn internet stuff going to start being quoted in Euros?

Most likely when the largest amount of buyers are no longer U.S. Citizens.

this is the big problem for us - week USD is killing us pretty hard.

born2blog · 09-18-2007, 06:28 AM

just checked xe.com and the current ratio is:

1.00 USD = 1.02277 CAD

really sucks!

Peterk, here's some homework for you. Go look at the price of oil in the last 4 years. Then go look at the exchange rate of the euro to the dollar, and then look at the price of oil in euros in the last 4 years as a result.

The reality is that high US dollar oil prices haven't affected the rest of us as much because the exchange rate has damped out a fair bit of it. The $81 barrel of oil for Canadians appears to be only a $50 barrel of oil when you consider how the exchange has moved - yes oil is up, but not by the 3 times that the US is seeing.

I think that in many ways, this is a nice sneak economic attack on the US by the oil producing nations, many of which are against the US.

JFK, there is more chance that Quebec seperates from Canada than Canada will give in to a common currency. The very most that would ever happen would possibly be a "fixed peg" with a yearly revision or something, to avoid the up and down roller coaster.

Most Canadians like being Canadians. They don't aspire to being junior americans.

Of course it is and the only way they will force it upon both the American and Canadian people, is if there is a benefit for them both. They want to even up both our currencies so the Amero looks good. They won't bring Mexico in on it because they are still a source of very cheap labor, so equaling their currency to ours would kill that.

It's really the only way we will be able to deal with China in the future as well as the Euro. Face it sooner or later oil is going to get sold in either Euro's or Yen. Once that happens the dollar is done for, so the only way to solve that issue is the Amero.

If FED will cut significantly interest rates today, then watch out for a fall of dollar and high inflation coming to the US, together with recesion, all of this only to save wall street croocks and some stupid homeowners. and all of this to be paid by average innocent Joe
The financial sector really deserve to get some beating.

Canadians are loosing so much in this - eventually the government has to do something to drop our dollar since we are loosing thousands of jobs and millions in business with lost exports. Yet we all know that nothing stays permanent in this life.

I would think so also...but it seems the econmy here is booming:

Quote:

Canadian Strength

The Fed rate cuts come at a time when the Canadian economy is showing signs of strength. It's set to expand 2.5 percent this year, outperforming the U.S. for the first time in five years, according to a Bloomberg News survey this month. Canada's benchmark rate is 4.5 percent.

Canada's currency, nicknamed the loonie after the image of the national bird on the one-dollar coin, has risen 5.1 percent against its U.S. counterpart since June 12 on speculation losses related to subprime mortgages would prompt the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.

``The equity market is rallying, and commodities are doing great,'' said Firas Askari, head of foreign-exchange trading in Toronto at BMO Capital Markets. ``The market is in love with the Canadian dollar again. Parity is probably a matter of when, not if.''

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...I&refer=canada

We must keep in mind that we have being floating in surplus for a few years ... while our neighboors have opened the valve of deficit full blast.

Also, servicing our debt ( mainly in US $ is costing much less due to this devaluation ).

So jobs are lost in one sector, and created in another ....

Nothing more to say about our " monopoly " money ...

It will. The cost of things will go up.

Exactly. Watch out for a 100USD per barel of oil soon, all comodity prices will go up really fast.
Even the biggest croock Greenspan, who caused whole situation by lowering interest rates to 1%, is against rate cut now, exactly because of : "inflation and recession

thats what average Joes thinks, but at the end average Joe is the one, who is going to pay for a higher inflation.
The prices of all commodities will go up very soon, therefore living costs too. I bet average Joe dont want to pay 4-5 bucks per gallon

Greenspan warned: "dont cut the rates, it will bring high inflation and at the end recession"
