- Huge impact on our economy. Lots of "dutch disease" chatter in day to day use, so the higher dollar is always a story. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 11, 11:59
- it's big up here thanks to cross-border shopping. Most things are anywhere from 10-100% cheaper across the border (booze, gas, food, tech, etc) -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:53 9
  - the cheap dollar just makes it gravy -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:56 8

      - a dozen beer (in NB) is $25-$18.50 ; likely a tad cheaper in TO. Hard liquor is probably 4 times or so as expensive than the US -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 11:58 6

        if you don;t do alot of drinking at home likely not near as noticeable -- nm - Beaker Sep 11, 12:03
        
        right, but the bottles at a liquor store would run you likely 4 times more (I was thinking this myself) - Beaker Sep 11, 12:02 2
