havent heard much talk here about how canada will fare in the slump/crash/glitch/bounce/whatever ...
a best-friend from high school who now lives in Montreal Canada just wrote this to me in response to a 'hows things up there' query:
>> It's financial meltdown up here. Our dollar is down to 63
>> cents US; interest rates have gone up by over 1% in the last
>> two weeks, and there's no end in sight. Imports from the US
>> are skyrocketing, and that includes fruits and vegetables to
>> get through the winter; they're talking increases in grocery
>> prices for imported stuff of over 20% this winter. You guys
>> will probably survive, but I fear we are in for hell up here.
>> I've been flashing on images of the 1920's depression.
whats all this about imports skyrocketing?
