I do have a feeling that like it or not, we do in fact have a global market. This means we will compete, like it or not, with other countries. The thing that might really hurt us is that the American Dollar is dropping compared to Canada. If it continues, it wouldn't surprise me if it goes below the value of Canada's dollar. I did talk to a woman that exchanged some American for Canadian and paid more for Canadian. I don't ever remember this. I do know that in the newspaper, the Canadian dollar is very close to the American dollar. Possibly a few pennies off. Evidently the bank had some fee for exchanging the money making it necessary for the woman to actually pay more for it. Presently the idea of anything "green" scares me, in that I hear nothing that doesn't mean great sacrifices to pay for going green. I won't go into that because I really don't know enough about it. I would like to see how others feel, but getting someone to make a comment on a site like this is next to impossible. I guess you recognize the pictures you sent me. I found those and the article and republished it. I agree with much of what you say. I do have a feeling that like it or not, we do in fact have a global market.
