$1 US Dollar = 1 Canadian Dollar

[Renegade_R]

Working in an electronics store, people always come up to me saying "How come this camera is so expensive, its like $100 cheaper in the US". My response is simple, "Just buy it there".

Despite the dollar being equal, distributors (eg. Sony, Panasonic, Nintendo) do not want to adjust their pricings in the Canadian region. I am speculating that these distributors are enjoying the increased profit margins without the need to lower prices.

wtf? $1 usd = 1 canadian bacon? lolz! i wish it was like that with australia. Its like
$1 usd = 1.6 aud

I'll see if I can hook us up with some more aeroplanes (for americans: "air"planes) to fly into some buildings. That was the best thing for the AUD in my lifetime. Went from 1AUD=0.52USD to 1AUD=.75USD in days! Good times and it still hasn't come down. Most Australians still assume that "2 aussie dollars equal 1 US dollar".

oops! my bad i meant $1usd = 0.5 aud and fenders are so cheap in america

Yeah, Canadian electronics are way overpriced.
We have to pay like $60 for an addition of French Manual that I cannot read.

But still, out tax rate is unbeatable. Even if retail price is dropped to match US$ price, we'd still end up paying more.

Sigh... Oh and to Americans who visit Canada, go buy your beer from a liquor store, the most frequent response to "Do you sell beer?" in a grocery store would be "You from the States?"
I found that really funny. Maybe it's just me

So, the dollar has dropped like a rock, eh? My local moneyz are worth 10% more dollars than a year ago

Time to hit the online stores and buy two of everything before the dollar goes up again.

the reason for this is probably usa's economics i mean they are currently the poorest country in the world with -$862,300,000,000.00 http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_cur_acc_bal-

and yes that is a minus

and you canadians who keep complaining About the prices should try coming to norway overhere a new game costs about 108$ and a ipod classic 160gb costs 540$

 

[MaHe]

Huh ... To think USD used to be worth as much as EUR is today ten years ago ...

Canada has one of the highest surpluses in the world. However, how the hell did China THAT much in account book? They have very low taxes.

I am not quite sure what point you are attempting to get across though.

No point. I was just wondering why a resident of the United Kingdom would speak in that manner.

That's a non-harmful looking troll, I guess you can feed it and train it.
