It takes 2, or even 3 things, put together to discourage Canadian from coming over.

The exchange rate has been at the current level for ages. But the Canadian economy is pretty shaky, and the reason of the shakiness has everything to do with Trump’s tariff threats.

If you’re a Canadian, how do you feel like spending big when your job isn’t secure? And do you want to spend your money that you may need if you get laid off? Especially if the reason of your losing your job could be because the orange man raising the tariff on what you’re making…

It’s not ”political”. As the saying goes, “it’s the economy, stupid”.

Currently .70, was .69 on Jan 16 2016. Pretty flat since mid-year 2015.

This is not flat, it's about a 7%'ish to 19%'ish variance from the mean or the peak depending on when you take it.

That's meaningful, especially in light of the fact the Canadian economy is not well.

This is a very naive post. Their economy wasn't humming and thn suddenly two months ago became "pretty shaky." Canadien economy has been shit for a while now for various reasons.

That's a cherry picked graph to suit your argument. Post a 30 year and then tell me the last 10 years haven't been relatively flat. Your portion of the 30 year is like the end of a roller coaster, yeah you got some ups and downs, but compared to the earlier part of the ride, it's pretty flat.

The timeframe of the graph doesn’t matter, the CA dollar is crap compared to the USD and their economy is in the tank. Jay is smart to take their currency at par, even though it means they are barely netting 500 dollars per pass for a 2k vert hill.

On the plus side, Bonnie gets replaced this year with a high speed six. Game changer operationally and I think you will see a lot fewer “wind holds”.
