Yeah, it was a completely different picture when the dollar was strong... Here's something that would be funny, if it weren't so sad....I use the Microsoft AdventureWorks database for some training, and they have a FactCurrencyRate table with conversion rates from the USD to other currencies. Back around 2005-2007, the exchange rate from the USD to the Canadian dollar was roughly .65 to 1. Now they're almost equal - and I think there have been a few times where the Canadian dollar has been a bit stronger (or the USD weaker, depending on how you look at it)
