Pobrecitos Canadienses

Solar panels, batteries, roof airs, parts and accessories.

Gringos are fortunate. Take anything priced in US dollars then multiply it by 125%. Not sure about import taxes that affect Canada but not the USA. But a 369 US Dollar solar panel sells for 461 Canadian Dollars

OUCH!

  • Our government just recently legalized butter, AND having dogs as pets!
  • Noooooot when a person is fortunate enough to have a USA pension.

    I just purchased four kilograms of inch and a half thick custom cut New York Steak. Steak from the USA. Tender, fat marbled and struck with a USA grading stamp. Has proved ultra-tender the last several years.

    Three Dollars eighty-five cents per pound.

    Custom cut pork chops. No bone. One dollar ninety one cents a pound.

    Watermelon 12 Kg. seven cents a pound. Strawberries, a dollar eighty three cents a kilogram.

    And wild desert honey (pitahaya cactus blossom and Russian Thistle). Almost black in color. One kilo for four dollars eighty cents. Fresh grouper, yellowtail tuna, all at prices too low to mention.

    Mexico did what it is famous for and invested tens of billions of pesos when the Euro was worth more than a dollar fifty US. The peso is currently trading at near sixtten to the dollar.

  • Or, one Canadian dollar sells for $0.80 US, so $461 x 0.8 = $369. To-may-to, to-mah-to.

    OR

    $369 US
    $461 CN
    1,000,000,000 pesos....
  • One US Dollar sells for $1.25 Canadian, so it's really a wash- 3.69 x 1.25 = 461.
  • Tell me about it! Now do the math on a bank of Lithium. :(
