Canadian dollar
After several years of heading down to the USA for a couple of months in the late winter, we have more or less decided we will not do it this year due to the poor exchange rate of the Canadian dollar....

While not Canadian, I talk with many in our park that are. This year almost as many Canadian as other years, but a few didn't come down this year or kept going to Mexico. What I've seen, attending more pot lucks, don't eat out as much, basically just watching their money more. But it is on their minds. Usually brought up in a conversation. Many didn't fly home over holidays to visit family and something to do with their medical and being out of country. But all are still enjoying themselves. Where we buy food, we see as many CA plates as past years. Some say their $ is discounted 30% others say buying power is 40% less.
We got hair cut in Mexico yesterday , good barber and $8.00 (US). When coming back to US... I've noticed US customs usually says to him "Welcome to the US". With me right behind him, usually nothing but, "Next".
At any rate we always enjoy seeing all of them. Doesn't take lots of money to be around friends. I still went up north to visit when your "looney" was as high or higher than US $$.
Here is a graph of the spot price.
