It seems like every news that I see and hear in regards to business and finance issues today are revolving around how the Canadian Dollar is virtually even with the US dollar at this point. The general thoughts are basically how it is great for consumers who want to head down to the US to purchase items while it has its negative affects on certain businesses such as tourism.
For myself this doesn’t really impact me too much. For some people that I have talked to it seems like there are a lot of jokes going around in retaliation over the years on how the Canadian dollar has been subject to a lot of ridicule as not being real money compared to US money. Almost sounds like a school yard. It’s going to be an interesting journey.
