I was just thinking about it, all these years we've got stuck with canadian coins when we get get change, but finally, they are getting stuck with our shitty coins by accident and even if they aren't, there are those occassions when when instead of the US Peso we get stuck with a canadian quarter and come out on top. FINALLY I knew our day would come *shakes fist*

We're at 98.5 right now, but back at the start of December Canadian dollars were worth 1.10 USD.



Which is pretty damn scary that it's fluctuating that quickly, people are going out of business because they quote a job at a reasonable margin, then get screwed by the currency market flopping around.

That's true. People are closing doors because they've had to drop prices to keep international business. Some paper place in Niagara or something like that. I can't remember, I saw it on the news.
