Is it not a shame that the Canadian dollar has dropped to a new low.
The exchange rate this morning is $1.00 US is costing Canadians $1.47 Can. ( Ref. RBC rate)
Now as of midnight March 21-2020 the US/Can border is closed to most travel, we can not run across to the US to buy parts saving huge shipping cost to get parts into Canada.
I have seen most parts places offering discount of 20 to 30 percent off, but it is just too cost prohibitive to buy parts at this time.
Hope that those parts suppliers can understand our (Canadians) situation.
Now we are being order to stay at home with lots of time to work on our loved projects, but cannot afford to purchase items to work on them.
Just now 11.30 AM March 22-2020 the Nova Scotia government has ordered no travel into our province, as some other Provinces are also ordering.
Please obey these orders and stay safe during this Covid 19 outbreak.
