Bill had nice stuff. I hope the future is good to him. Probably time for him to down shift a bit.


As an aside. I wonder if the strength of the cdn $ is affecting his export business to the states. I remember years ago I would exchange US $ to cdn $, but when I bought a breakfast/dinner it seemed the cost countered the exchange rate. Like there's always two prices on the back of books, one for US and one for cdn.
When I was shopping for canoe packs. Ostrom's prices didn't compare to CCS. Same with Nova Canoes to Wenonah.

Strong cdn $ is great when Canadians want to travel to the US, but a cheaper US $ helps our export business.
