StirCrazy just a friendly discussion. We all have to pay $$ or $$$$ for some things and we all (or most) look for ways to pay less with the things we spend $ on. Win some lose some.
I get a cheaper campsite but I pay more for other stuff when I visit your country. You pay more for a NP pass but get cheaper stuff. Sounds like a wash to me.
I know you’re not complaining, but complaining about things that are A. Not horrible. And B. Out of one’s control is of no benefit.
Side note, looks like BC right now gas is the same or cheaper than here!!
Im, trying to figure out what I get cheeper right now LOL. when our buck was at par then it was how you said, even when we were at 0.86 it wasn't bad but you had to look for cheeper. at 0.71 there is no cheeper anymore, traditionaly with the price of oil, our buch should be at par or higher than the US greenback, but for some reason it has been untied to oil over the last 12 years. I figured BC is slightly cheeper that california when you convert to the smaller gal and the exchange rate last week, havent done it this week yet though. I think deisel was up to 2.30/L in vancouver if not higher though.
my point wasn't that I pay more it was more that. ok before I post anything more, I view the US and Canada as brother countries. if you go back we were both pretty much founded by the same immigrants and such. I have more than a few ancestors that fought in the civil war, so some time before I die I have to get out there and learn more about that. so it irks me that on a whim our two countries can be throwen into termoil like they have been. to me its is simple if trump raises national passes for us then we should raise them for you. about the only way I can get a site in Banff now a days 🤣,
but that isn't the answer either.. there should be none of this stuff between the US and Canada. heck I can't even buy burbon in BC right now, although we do have some nice home grown alternatives. but I don't want to turn this into a political debate so I'll just stop and see what happens in the future.
