Title: Good news for Canadian buyers ...
Post by: groff22 on September 20, 2007, 12:35:10 PM
Though, not so good for exporting to our neighbors south of the border, the Canadian dollar is sneaking towards the equivalent of 1.00 USD ... which has yet to be matched by Canadian retailers.

If this keeps up, next year I'll go to Maine and pick up a SV650S for $6,499.00 USD VS $8,799.00 CAD  O0


Cheers,
J

Werease is right.

Through history, most Canadian leaders who succeeded into office were Liars... erm... I mean Lawyers from Quebec. If that says anything.

the last time i saw the exchange rate the pound was up to $2 US   hehe.

I know how you feel though about politics i haven't got a clue of which party i would vote for in the UK. No party accomplishes anything because once they get into power theyre too scared to do anything to lose voter and in turn lose power so nothing ever gets accomplished, plus our leaders are sheep to the rest of the worlds leaders.
