I know that it’s literally right next door: but does a stronger USD help against a weaker CAD? The thing is, how similar are both nations in terms of culture? For example, I’ve heard a lot of Aussies visit New Zealand as it’s not far. So is it basically the same thing with Americans going to Canada for vacation?


I’ve done a bunch of work with folks in Nunavut before, and I find it’s a useful distinction given that very fact. Life’s pretty different up north and it’s a term they use to talk about the rest of us.
(Will say I don’t know if it gets as much play in NWT or Yukon).
Edit: According to StatsCan, the line’s further down than I thought it’d be, but honestly it still makes sense. Source: map from this release.
