I'm also seriously considering donating to Ron Paul's campaign.

My non-retirement investments are with RBC Dominion Securities. I was given a projection that shows possibly as high as $1.10 in the next few years. As long as oil is high,so is the Canadian dollar.

I have just received another huge order of fly fishing gear from Cabela's and BassPro. It was over $700 US. Only $88 CDN in duties too. I would not have bought if the dollar was not as high as it is.

It's great news for those of us in the UK, where the dollar is only worth about 45 pence now (there was a time in the mid-1990s when it was worth closer to 85p) and means that imports have never been cheaper.
However, the general US malaise is having an effect -- the North of England's biggest bank (Northern Rock) nearly went bust recently because of the US sub-prime mortgage issue.
