Canadian Dollar 96 Cents

last buying trip to the US was in July -$1.06, things have changed. Aussie $$ id way down, everyone calls down the US $$ but that is where they all go.
 
it didn't drop .05 over nite, it's been over a few days, was down about .02 today. it is up close to a penny in after hours trading right now, so between .97 and .98. it's just banks etc. bailing on the euro and buying us dollars driving it up in the short term. also commodities are falling so you get a selloff on cdn and aussie $ . things are going to get uglier than what we saw in 2008 real quick unless the europeans do something meaningful to correct their financial mess.

Just the other night I was looking at going to Disney Land....Not now....Why? Our f'n dollar.

if money is that tight that you are not going over 2 cents on the dollar. then you really couldn't afford it when the dollars above par
 
I can afford it.... Cash is not the issue. It's the point. By the time we go if I booked it today what would our dollar be at? + buying costs and credit card extra costs.Not interest as I don't carry balances. Have you bought anything on your CC from the US. Add 4 more cents on the dollar. So at .96 cents it really at .92 cents unless you are carrying cash 24/7 even then our dollars worth .94 cents unless you know some drug dealer that will sell you US dollars at par.


FInd yourself some nice flights on a canadian carrier (westjet for example), and hotels are generally reasonable down there anyways! No squabbling over a few cents now ;)

i guess it is all about perspective... I remember going down there 20 years ago with my folks and they didnt seem to ***** too much when the cdn dollar was worth .65 cents!
 
Well you may pay 4% more on the dollar but think about the fact that gas is still $2.00 a gallon less, booze is much cheaper, flights packaged with hotels originating from Seattle are cheap...your still way ahead of the same trip in Canada or Europe.
 
That's it when the Canucks win the Stanley Cup we're all going to Disneyland...SS
 
I already have Free hotel and Free airfair. Get off this... I have better things to do. Just realize our dollar sucks. That is what it is about

Ok FA... you have better things to do? then why start a topic about the state of the loonie, and how you cant go down south because 'of the f'n dollar"

i can speak for many in our country when I say that there is nothing to complain about when our buck is at .96! did ya think it would stay at 1.07 forever??
 
pretty sure there is bigger issues when you cant go down south and you already have free airfare and hotels too... just sayin?!

Yes......

.Why do you take the so seriously?

Do you not have better thing to do then read about the Canadian dollar on a fishing forum......LOL
 
This is not about me and Disneyland guys. I have traveled when our dollar has been more in the dumps. But when I was just looking at going this happens. Like WTF. Blame me for the dollar if you want I don't give a crap. Lets talk about our dollar and not my trip....OK
 
Thank gawd the dollar is down, considering almost 80% of Canada's GDP is built through US markets. Maybe we'll all still have jobs next month. LOL
 
Sorry, but it would have to be free before many Americans could afford to take our goods right now. They are in a big world of hurt...only bettered by Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy.
 
Yes......

haha... I am very casual, and I am not taking anything seriously...
I find it humorous that you are getting all heated and accuse me of nothing better to do than to "read about the canadian dollar on a fishing forum".
I responded because you posted something silly about it tanking 5 cents overnight, and how you cant afford a trip! DO you not have anything better to post, other than the canadian dollar??

anyways... all is well, and i would shake your hand. I feel like I am engaging with a seasoned vet, given your post count. so... lets go have a beer now?! :)
