toss a surcharge in with the crossing and hotel cost and you have a free afternoon.
Treating devalued currencies as if they were worth real money—like Disneyworld used to do w/ our 80¢ dollars—has long been a way to drum up business by discounting.
Hard to imagine "US at par" being anything other than a warning back when the greenback was doing better. If you got 'em, take the ladies at their word and go for today's discount.
Betcha you'll start see more and more such notices along the undefendable border. Another pressure to get Canadian prices down to American levels.

It is just a matter of time.
It hasn't been that long ago (few months) since the dollar was at par.
And there's no predicting that it will or won't go back to par.
Now, if it takes major retailers (i.e. Chapters) time to adjust to the exchange rates, how long do you think it will take SPs?
Seems to me that folks are just waiting it out to see how long the high Canadian dollar lasts.

I have given up trying to guess how high the Canadian dollar is going to top out at.
Its unreal how fast its been going up every week, next week it should go even higher...when it is stopping going up is the million dolar question nobody knows.
