Canadian Dollar Reaches Parity with US$

Posted by kdawson on Thursday September 20, 2007 @04:08AM from the who's-loony-now-eh dept.

boxlight writes in to mark the occasion when the Canadian dollar hit parity with the US dollar for the first time in 31 years. The article notes that Canada has run a budget surplus in each of the last 10 years. "This is actually bad for the profits of Canadian corporations that sell their products to the US for US dollars (Canada sells far more to the US that the US sells to Canada); but it means us Canucks will get cheaper Macs as the Canadian prices get closer to US prices with every new release."

Imagine a graph with two lines. Now imagine those two lines converging until they meet.
