When i last check the CDN dollar finally came above the US dollar today! I know im a long ways from the US border, (6hrs) but now i can totally justifly goin down into the states to buy a outtie! My friends are lookin into 2.

 

So much for my cheap fishin trips to Smithers BC! LOL!

 

Its gonna hurt the tourism/logging/manufacturin industries in Canada very much so... but im in the oil patch, so it not gonna bother me much

 

I have a fishin buddy from Calgary that works as an engineer in the oil fields up in northern Alberta. It will hurt tourism for sure. Question is how long will it last? Looks like I'll be headin down to mexico for some more tarpon fishin this year instead of Steelhead in BC. Bummer cause I dig canada, been there 8 times in 6 years. Takes me weeks to break myself from saying eh! LOL!

Hey Steveo10 Who do you work for up there? I work for a company called USSynthetic. We make the PDC(polycrystalline diamond cutters) for drill bits. Kind of interesting.

 

I use to work in the rigs a yr ago. Boy can those PDC sure dig!

 

The cdn dollar finally went above the usa dollar, and yet honda still charges canadians $6539 for the 250ex and $3999 for americans. I know hardly anyone is in the market for 250s, but that just shows you how badly honda and suzuki rip us off- they are the worst offenders (btw the trx450er is 1.45X expensive in canada as in the usa $10200:$7000)

 

the crappy thing is that the prices will never even out, a new quad in canada costs as much as a small car XD

 

Its sick how people are savin $13,000 on a new diesel goin down 2 the states

 

No... the really really sick part is how Americans are so stupid that they are not panic mode already... as the US dollar continues to fall below yet another currency benchmark.
