If the US dollar keeps slipping, my countrymen will soon be mowing the lawns and cleaning the pools of Canadian vacation homes.

And this is the way it should be in a free market. In the last decade it was the U.S. dollar flowing north; now the pendulum swings back in the other direction. And when it reaches its maximum potential, the ebb and flow will find its new direction. The overall longterm effect is win-win, a rising tide that raises all boats that choose to sail the same sea; not a zero sum game of absolute winners and losers.

And I know there are many of you who won't agree with me. That's fine; it's the same thing: push and pull, push and pull, push and pull . . . and in the end, we're all the better off for it.

Viewpoint #1: "I don't want to take advantage of a guy who's having trouble in the market and is losing his shorts," Sirockman said. "But I have no problem with a guy from California who bought on spec and has five houses in Arizona and never lived in them."

Viewpoint #2: "When (the Canadian dollar) hit a dollar ten, it really created a real buzz for Canadians, not only those looking to buy second homes but we're also seeing it from buying purely from an investment standpoint," Dziedzic said.


Wonder which is the more common attitude.
