can it really go any lower?!

is it going to go under the $2 mark?

The tourist rate has !!! :scared:

Spoke to a broker at HIFX 2 weeks ago.....He was predicting it to get to CAD$2.02........that was two weeks ago.......not sure if they reviewed that further downwards :scared:

I don't see it getting better until there's some good news out of the UK (e.g. interest rates rise), really bad news from America (e.g. their housing bubble bursts) or a significant drop in the price of oil.

I suspect we'll see all of those by the end of next year, but I doubt we'll see any of them in the next few months. I was kind of upset about only getting $2.17 on my savings when I converted them, now I'm glad I got that much!

Now I'm just not going to spend any money I don't have to until I get out of here.

When? We get money from the Uk regularly and the worst rate we have got is $2.07

Just got money for our holiday next week and the best "on the high street" rate I could get was $1.98 ..... M&S had a slightly better online rate $2.007!!!!! but I don't have an M&S card ......

Please don't tell me I could have done better elsewhere as I really tried hard

I'd be surprised if you'd get much better than that on the high street with current rates.

The following is an extract from our bank statement so it seems better if you get your money from a cash m/c once you are here

Sep 2005 ATM 1590 SEP05 2329 , ROYAL BANK OF , CANADA , ANNAPOLIS R ON , CAD 500.00, RATE 2.0680,
Sep 2005 ATM 1590 SEP05 1030 , ROYAL BANK OF , CANADA , ANNAPOLIS R ON , CAD 500.00, RATE 2.0747,
Sep 2005 ATM 9419 SEP05 0951 , ROYAL BANK OF , CANADA , ANNAPOLIS R ON , CAD 500.00, RATE 2.0747,
Sep 2005 ATM 9419 SEP05 2034 , ROYAL BANK OF , CANADA , ANNAPOLIS R ON , CAD 500.00, RATE 2.0684,
Sep 2005 ATM 9419 SEP05 0833 , *SCOTIABANK , ANAP ROYAL N ON , CAD 180.00, RATE 2.0630

Aaargh ...... I asked you not to tell me!!!

When in September was that, though? Rates have varied from about $2.06 to $2.19 so far this month.

Sorry But it could benefit others

I checked M&S yesterday they were running at $2.01.

I think I might stick the money in my cash account and just use my ATM card.

Yeah, from my point of view, this is great!

just check out M&S and the CAD$ has droped below the $2.00 to $1.98

and £1.96 @ the Post office - kinda glad I got 1.98 now!!!
