[QUOTE="DS, post: 270425, member: 556"] Its bizzare what such a small difference in the US and Canuck dollar has done.Canadians are flocking to the US to shop and they are finding that cars,tv's'and most electronic items were significantly cheaper in the first place.I read that thousands of people have gone so far as to buy a car in the USA,and even after the duty,sales tax and gst,it is often $2000 cheaper! The emissions controls are different here and with some models they need to be retrofitted to our standards.I went into a hallmark store last week and a sign said, "American prices in effect" So on the back of a card it says $2.29 US and $3.99 Canadian...thats a major difference!I really don't have a clue about the economic implications of the whole thing,but I get the impression that the gouging has been going on a long time here,and I'm sure,that the US can only benefit from us doing our business there instead of here.
