Before Canadians all start e-ordering clothes from J. Crew (does J. Crew still exist...I should check, eh?) because of our mighty dollar, we should make a few mental notes.
Hmm...does the strong Canadian dollar mean that the PCs are doing a really, really swell job? No. Rather, the Americans are just doing a really, really awesome job at accumulating debt. Okay, but, that should surely mean that the CDN$ will be strong for a really, really long time and then, we can tell the U.S. where to go! No, again. You see, the U.S. debt is due to the WAR ON TERROR (and all public money is being used to make private military companies very rich, and let's name some names - Roosevelt, Rockefeller, oh, and Bush) and we need only to flip our history books about 30 years back to remember the last time our dollar was stronger than the USD. Pssst...the Vietnam War. No coincidence there.
If I weren't up to my eyeballs in child rearing, my thorough research would probably uncover uncanny macroeconomic activity during WW1 and WW2. Also, we need to remember what happened economically after the [scripted] wars ended. What did happen? I'm going to bed.
