before i'd get paid $300 american and it'd come to about $325 or more cad.

Now I say I want $300 they demand USD and I get $2??

when I say hey I'm losing money. I need you to pay me in Canadian or I gotta raise my price.

They say.. Tough luck..

That's fucked up.

The low American dollar is fucking Canadian manufacturing/production.
That's because the world economy is based off the US dollar. Like it or not until the last 2 years the US dollar has been the most stable currency in the world so it acted as the center anchoring place for the rest of the world's economies.

The dollar is down right now, but it will come back. It's quite simple if you don't like the dollar bill in Canadian or Euro's see how well that goes over for yea.
