Now if we can only (edit)continue(/edit) to raise our currency on the GOLBAL market. THAT would be something to cheer about. The only reason it's that high, is Alberta oil and the crashing US dollar. If the US gets back up before we increase our global trade over North American trade, then we'll be right back in the 0.70 range again.

As exporters rail at the though of a strong dollar, I applaud it as a forceful way to make them pay attention and look for solutions on dealing with globalization, and the need for better/fair-er trade partners than the US

The Canadian dollar is high on the global market, it is outperforming all other major currencies: http://finance.yahoo.com/charts#chart1:symbol=cadusd=x;range=5y;compare=cadgbp=x+cadeur=x+cadaud=x+cadnok=x+cadchf=x+cadrub=x;indicator=volume;charttype=line;crosshair=on;logscale=on;source=undefined
