Someone is going to have set me straight, because clearly don't understand how any of this works, but I was under the impression that because of free trade, the market values for products produced in both the US and Canada should be fairly unversal. Of course, with our low dollar (and the subsequent lower buying power), prices in Canada were adjusted to account for that.

But with our dollar approaching par with the U.S., howcome prices for goods don't reflect this? Shouldn't they be changing?
