Hey the Canadian dollar is at a 30 year high just over .93 cents to the American dollar.Analysts say it will be at par by the end of the year.They say a strong Canadian economy is the reason but i think its also got to do with the American dollar is doing soo poorly with all the borrowing your country has been doing.Also we have deficit spending laws in our country so our debt is being paid down a little every year wich is a good thing.A country is like a household a family can not keep borrowing money every year because one day it has to be paid back.
