“Loonies, Dodos they’re all the same – flightless”

As our Canadian dollar soars at and/or above par with the U.S. Dollar, manufacturers lament its threat to lost exports even as they fail to pass the savings along to us.  For example, Bombardier, Canada’s darling of industry (measured against their industrious pursuit of Canadian tax dollars to stay afloat), sells its made-in-Canada Ski-Doo Legend Touring Model for $10,199 in Canada and $8,349 in the U.S., a difference of 22%.
