Earlier this week the Globe and Mail reported that Canada’s recovery is picking up steam after a dismal second quarter and our economy will grow more quickly than expected through the first three months of next year.
That said, the report went on to say that global risks have intensified and Mark Carney of the Bank of Canada projects that the Canadian dollar will trade at an average level of $1.03 (U.S.) from now through 2013.
Okay. Some of you just read the above and thought, “Yesterday… blah, blah, blah… Economic… blah, blah, blah. Global risks… yeah, whatever.” Why should fly anglers care? Simply because of this: the Canadian dollar is so strong that more of us are looking at purchasing gear online and it is important to make sure we don’t get hit with hidden costs like freight and duties when ordering. Better yet – order from a fly shop in Canada that has great service and a pricing policy you trust.
WOW! What a great segue into telling you that we hope to have our new ecommerce live before the August long weekend.
Sometimes we’re just too clever for our own good…
