I haven't really been looking at the rates until I noticed today that we are on par with the USD. I actually was in the process of purchasing some motorcycle parts from the US (already 50% discount over ripoff cdn prices) so that is a nice surprise.
My problem is that in the big scheme of things, the US cost discount in conjunction with the dollar at parity has had no effect on CDN domestic pricing. Last year everyone thought that retailers were going to have to cut prices to avoid losing business. What the heck happened?
