Loonie at Parity with Greenback
The Canadian Dollar is now worth more than the American Dollar.
Story
Popping across the border for some shopping is now quite attractive but the rapidly rising dollar hurts Canadian exporters.

We are all made of star dust. However we are also made of nuclear waste.

According to my local paper, it may take a while for the prices to adjust to the higher dollar, also, the higher dollar, in addition to hurting exporters, it also makes it less attractive for American businesses to expand into Canada. The call center that my brother works at it just barely hanging in there, because it's now even more expensive for the parent company to operate than it's state-side counterparts, but it beats the rest on customer service analysis (it's a phone insurance hotline thing, not telemarketing), which is the only reason it's still in business.

To bad about all those people who bought it a few weeks ago & payed higher prices.

Oh, yes, I heard. My father takes it as sign of the apocolypse.
I'm not joking.
