Finally! The Canadian Dollar has been at or near par with the US dollar for months, but this is the first time I've actually come out ahead through PayPal. See that? $5.00 USD has been converted as $4.87 CAD.
Too bad there wasn't more of that going around. Check the cover price of Interweave Knits - $6.99 US but $7.99 in Canada. According to the Bank of Canada, one USD was worth 95.37 cents Canadian at the close of trading yesterday. So why are we paying about 15% more?
It's enough to drive you crazy, but never mind. After all, I finally won on that transaction!

It is about time you Canadians came out ahead! However, it's not good news for us Americans!
a win's a win!
