First off, i thought I would never see the day that it would be on par. I remember the days of .64 cents! I have mixed feelings on this. Ontario gets alot of manufacturing jobs because of the weak dollar along the 401.

I'm an account manager and 90% of my clients are American, hurts both my sales and commission coming back over the border. I don't have a strong enough economic education to guess how this going to hurt or help long term.

I am noticing a trend that downsizing and cost cutting seem to be a common theme among American companies, could be me just in a rut though.

I went to Boston a couple of weeks ago, cashed 1k CAD into American and got 970 back! amazing. Felt a bit like Christmas lol. So use to getting that 64 cent rate.
