No fret over the low Dollar ! - ketchim - 01-18-2016
The oil price collapse gives Canada an opportunity to rethink its dependence on raw materials
In the end, Alberta and other oil-producing provinces were vulnerable to the weakness
that afflicts all staple-dependent economies
— the sheer volatility of commodity prices

Yes, imported cauliflower may now cost $8 a head.
But there is relatively simple solution: Don’t buy cauliflower. Eat cabbage instead.
And when you can, buy Canadian
and of course TRAVEL within Canada :-*

It means only that foreigners don’t need as many loonies :
to buy the Canadian exports they want.
Re: No fret over the low Dollar ! - ketchim - 01-18-2016
Eventually, the loonie will rise again as Canadian non-oil exports pick up.
With encouragement, it will stabilize at its so-called purchasing power parity rate of about 81 cents (U.S.)
— low enough to encourage exports,
high enough to allow Nargis , Belle and Artemis occasional trip south.
