It is sad  that the spending and deficits put pressure on the CDN dollar, but if we had a pro Canada government the dollar would be at par or above. I would like to see Russia, Saudi do another 3 million barrels a day cut and Canada to join with a reduction as well. Our reduction would be totally absorbed by the US and the price would be moving to 70 bucks a barrel, so all would be good. Everybody who sells oil would now be getting more for less... as a next exporter of oil (mainly to the US at a big discount) Canada would be much better off and be sending the Donald a message of the Canada changing ways.
