As long as it's disclosed the pricing is in US dollars, nobody should be complaining.

Yeah, people hate the retailer. There is no-one hurting more from the drop in the Canadian dollar more than small business retailers who imports the vast majority of their stock. If you raise prices to match your new costs then customers rebel and refuse to pay, or even worse, grab a soapbox and try to get others to also stop buying from you also. The other option is to not raise prices, and lose what margin you already have. Then no matter how much you sell, you don't actually net any profit.
I'm not going to lie, it's scary as hell thinking the Canadian dollar could drop to .59 by the end of the year. But I'll survive, it's just another curve ball to deal with. Adapt and move on, adapt and move on.
