Wow, it's been a long time since the Canadian Dollar was at par (of very near par) to the U.S. Dollar.

Ah and I remember the days of saving so much by paying with your US credit card and paying US money...guess those days are over. However, shopping in Canada was never really as much of deal as it seemed due to the 15% sales and other taxes! Yikes! We're one of the higher ones in the US with 8.25% tax.

So now I guess I can use all that Canadian change I save (a lot gets mixed in with US especially in the border states) isn't going to 'cost' me to use.
