If there is additional expense due to CAD:USD, it's not much. Perhaps everything is a bit slow to react to the dollar differences.

Well the exchange is why people are shying away from the US. Frankly if the US raises interest rates and Canada cuts that exchange makes travel that much more painful in the US. At this point its basically $1.27, so with some interest rates factor in you would be likely around $1.32 (just a guess on my part).
