Also I remember in the not so distant past when the our friends in Maple Leaf land were lagging behind us at around .70 cents now they are equal or higher ?

What exactly has happened for our dollar to be so worthless ?

In simple terms WTF ???

The same topic came up in another thread a few weeks ago. A much more balanced one at that. Try and find that one..

I have read everything so far on this one - and you will not learn much.

Basically supply and demand - US interest rates are low, return on investments is low, business opportunities are low right now - and with inflation going up a bit - so the dollar is low. A bit more complicated and interdependant that some would have you believe.


Yes! That link above!
