We did it! It took 31 years, but we’re BACK!

This morning at 1058 EDT September 20, 2007, the Canadian dollar exceeded the US dollar for the first time since 1976.  Soon we’ll be having to advertise “We take USD at par”, “Sorry, no US coins accepted”.  Hah!

Say “Hello!” cross border shopping.  Apparently our prices just won’t fall to match the value of our dollar.  No problem.  With the US economy being as depressed as it is, I’ll just pop down south to buy things.
