Yeah, with tax where I am that $899 set becomes $1016.

As someone who relies on the US economy doing well, I've always hated how the media celebrates a strong Canadian dollar and moans a weak one, when the entire manufacturing and export community - those businesses bringing money into the country - suffer when the Canadian dollar is high, as everything is more expensive to their trading partners. While an actual strong dollar never seems to do us any good IN the country, because prices of goods rarely improve to a similar degree, and having individuals send their "strong buying power" dollars out the country to import cheap goods that avoid our local stores entirely can't be good for the economy!
