He means that our money is worth the same as the US dollar Ever since I was a teenager the American $ has been worth more. It's a big deal especially on ebay.
ya, just say if i won a pedal from an American auction for $50 US dollars, it would actually cost me $60 Canadian if it would have been last year. now the Canada dollar is actually slightly past the US dollar at the moment. so now the same pedal would cost me around $49.50 CAD as opposed to 60!
