I'm going to see the the Bills vs the Jets in a couple weeks. Stadium beer is getting cheaper by the day.

1. It was $0.76 in July
I was around Banff for a star formation conference in July. The dollar was worth 76 US cents at the time and it killed me! It's still going up up up apparently. Good news for you all, I guess.

2. Yes and no...
Good news for consumbers, bad news for those involved in a business centred around the exportation of goods to foreign nations.

3. Yes and Canada is a exporting country.
Over 70 percent of the economy.

4. in case we haven't figured it out

This is the result, of course, of the stealth devaluation of the US currency.

And we'll be paying for it in our oil prices this winter. Why would any oil producing country not put its prices up, when it's being paid in the steadily declining yankee dollar?
