I hope I'm wrong

Because that's what the Liberal apologists at the CBC have been telling him?

But unlike the typical CBC watcher who never risks being exposed to reality, Chuck actually interacts on this forum daily where he is exposed to a lot of very smart people with a wide variety of business experience, education, worldly experience and common sense.
He should know better by now.

But I suppose the word interact is too strong in this case. That would indicate some level of two-way communication. Lecturing, insulting and name calling, while never actually reading or comprehending what anyone else has posted may not qualify as interaction.

So 70 cent dollars are worthless? LOL So you are broke, is that what you are saying?

They are higher than Australian dollar and Canada still has a triple AAA credit rating.

Plus a lower dollar makes our exports much more attractive.

you cc are as bad as the man child that said he does not think about monetary policy and has destroyed canada

Food Bank use in Canada up 90% since 2019 , sure Canada is doing great cc

Chuck, by your economic logic, Zimbabwe and Venezuela must have booming economies thanks to their low currencies.

Why do you insist upon embarrassing yourself daily?

Speaking of embarrassing yourself the pretengineer and self appointed oracle of Alberta compares us to third world low income countries and thinks a high CAD would be good for us in a tariff war? Wrong again!

The prices you receive for your crops will go down along with decreased access to markets! Not a winning strategy! More Trump taxes on the US (tariffs) in part drives our dollar lower.

"A weak dollar can be advantageous for Canadian exporters, as it makes Canadian goods more competitively priced abroad. Industries reliant on exports, such as agriculture, forestry, and manufacturing, may benefit."

Sure it looks great when we sell stuff but it is when we need to import goods necessary for means of production, priced in American dollars, that the impact of a dollar with less purchasing power erase the low dollar advantage. Most of our phosphorus comes from the USA for example.

[chuckChuck]

Yup its a double edged sword. But low prices and loss of markets for your products hurt a hell of a lot more!

[WiltonRanch]

Yeah lost markets suck the worst. See India and USA going at it with tariffs now. No one is immune to the current us administration’s wrath.

[chuckChuck]

Get ready for the Trumpcession! Donny says its going to be fun for american farmers!

If you put half as much energy toward positives related to where you live, you'd receive returns and feel better.
