I am googling to find out what $128 Canadian is in American $, and finding out $128 Canadian is $128.41 American. Is that right? The reason I ask is there is something at a Canadian website that I may order, and I am trying to figure out what the American price would be.

There used to be quite a big difference. For a year I crossed the Canadian border at least once a month and the difference was much bigger. This was 7 years ago.

Now, as has been noted, after thirty years of being worth substantially less than the greenback, there is parity between the two currencies. I don't know how long it will last, but anybody from Canada who vacations in the US or cross-boarder shops, should buy up the greenback before it goes back up, which it will eventually.

And EmilyAnne, the Canadian dollar is wonderfully high at the moment. Which is part of the reason why my husband and I went on a little trip to the states to buy all of the baby things we needed. We saved hundreds of dollars! But I think it will come down again soon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
