The NZ dollar is also in the tank compared to the US dollar, despite having had a right wing austerity government cutting spending for over a year. This is more to do with the extreme strength of the US economy since 2021, than anything happening in Canada or Australia or New Zealand.




Canadian $ = 0.70 USD
Australian $ = 0.63 USD
New Zealand $ = 0.57 USD
Are you from Canada?

This has much much more to do with our governments spend spend spend policies, tax Canadian's to death than the USA's strong economy. The world is losing faith in Canada and pulling investment dollars, selling of CAD and its showing everywhere.

1. Mass spending/corruption around COVID with no accountability.
2. Mass printing of CAD to give to people during COVID without payback plan or anything
3. Tax dollars invested in Green businesses/EV battery plants that have all gone into bankruptcy protection.
4. Massive Liberal corruption around contracts. Multiple Liberal owned companies and friends received billions in unaccounted for contracts without any competition.
5. Foreign interference influencing our government to send money elsewhere
6. Selling off all our gold.
7. Massive immigration causing all our service costs to go up, so spending goes up, taxation goes up.

It has much much more to do with our Pejorative Slured government whos spending has finally caught up to us, and our Prime Minister has gone into hiding after our Finance Minister resigned after throwing him under the bus.

The US economy should of been followed by our leaders but we decided to ruin consumer/investor confidence by spending like drunken sailors thinking it wouldn't ever come to haunt us.

We can not talk politics. As a Canadian living in Europe? The current instability is being caused things certain people are saying publicly.

Here in the UK one talking heaf suggested a certain person will use Canada as an example to others countries who do not bend the knee and kiss the ring

I know and understand, this was somewhat tongue in cheek. Recently Trump made the comment that we'd solve Canada's problems if they became a state.

Obviously there would need to be quite a bit of planning to make it a reality. Having said that, I would love if our countries united.
That would suck donkey balls. However, a shared economic zone, like the EU would be pretty sweet. Canada would have to surrender it monetary policy and central bank (or get a Canadian based Federal Reserve), but we'd get the greenback!

You have to be a complete narcissist or incompetent in virtually every other field to want to subject yourself to the kind of scrutiny that we impose on public officials these days.

Did you write something on a message board in 2005? Well, guess what, it's coming out.
Well, some of them should be subject to intense scrutiny but I also think bringing up things that happened a long time ago is a pointless exercise.

But again, we still elect fools to important positions of power. No different than a bunch of nepotistic twats running a hockey team.

This is so much wrong with whst you posted there is no use discussing the problem with this post. The only thing you have correct is outside influence but not in the way you are talking about

Anyone know how NHL paychecks are paid out exactly? I may be making this up, but I thought they were paid and taxed by whereever they played. So playing Canada, NY, Florida, TN, etc all paid out differently.

But obviously all of this is not good for players wanting to sign in Canada if 50% of their paycheck comes at a 40% discount.
