| Why is the Canadian dollar so strong against the won, and when will it stop? |
The bank people attribute the strength of the loonie to two related trends: high oil prices (Canada is a producer and exporter), and record government and trade surpluses, which are partially caused by the oil money coming in. The federal government -and most provincial governments - have been able to score up budget surpluses and pay down their decades-old debts in an era when the US has been racking up higher and higher deficits. |
It's funny the government is doing so well when the individuals are not.

Apparently household debt has reached 1 trillion dollars in Canada. And here I am trying to save money in Korea and watching the exchange rate screw me. |

Hold onto the won as long as possible, if you don't have credit card debt-the Canadian currency will not stay at .98 USA indefinitely.
Credit card debt-bite the bullet and wipe it out like the unclean thing that it is |
