So at some point in the next few months, I'd like to convert a fairly sizable chunk of money from my Canadian bank account to my American one. Can anyone recommend the best way do this, in order to ensure the best rate possible? Would it be through a wire-transfer with a bank? Or is there some other service/company that offers a better rate? It's a lot of money (to me at least!) so even the smallest percentage point would make a difference.

And speaking of which, anyone have any thoughts where the Dollar is going in the next little while? Obviously, the time to convert was a few months ago, but it would be nice to at least try to get a little closer to that great exchange rate.
