I think we also need to focus more on China, and Asia in general. Big market there, and they do want things that we have, and I don't just mean oil. But domestically, we have to make the most of what we do have and can do, and stop trying to artificially support failing industries. I was in retail (big box) all my career, and it is unbelievable the hoops and regulations you now need to go through to build or remodel a store. What used to take 2 or 3 years (from plans to completion) now takes 5 - 7 years, and what used to cost 2 - 4 million, now costs 5 -7, and more. This is over a span of just 10 years. With all the govt fingers (municipal are the worst, then provincial) involved, with all their assessments, consultations, and delays, it is making it very, very difficult to do business in Canada. Only the guys with very deep pockets and very long strategic time frames (like Walmart, Costco, etc) can survive. Cdn companies are at a huge disadvantage, caused by their own govts. Sorry for the rant..., but I had to live this for the last part of my career,... and have very strong opinions here.

This is going to be a major issue.
The prices of corals will also be effected because they are always purchased from farms in US dollars.

Good for my USD account right now
http://www.xe.com/ take into account that's interbank rates in the link the consumer can pay anything up to 6.0 points above this!!! but typically around 3.0 points. I have strong Corporate connections to Canadian Forex which means we pay a small 0.1 above interbank which helps us keep pricing as low as physically possible. |

That's right! Anyone who uses their CAD CC to shop in the USA will pay in upwards of 1.35!
