Meh, pretty much everything in USA costs about 20-30% less than over here at this point, even with taxes. Even back then when it was 0.9, everything was still much cheaper in the States.

Certain items have an even worse discrepancy right now. Bought a kb/mouse combo online for $92USD (tax free) last week. Same product off a Canadian website was like $138CAD before taxes, or $155 taxes in.

I'm surprised there isn't that mad rush to import cars all over again.
