great depression incoming or nah ? (canada)

[Midnitewarrior4]

what? no lol. Your prices will be lower for tourists because your currency is weak. USD is the most expensive currency at the moment. 

but thats like saying our pc components should be cheaper since our dollar is low but its the exact opposite, its higher toi match other currencies such as usd

 

edit: i understand lol im dumb im thinking for us it will be expensive but for people coming from the usa yes it will be cheap to their standards

Shhhhhh walk away slowly

[thekeemo]

yup.... do you happen to work for an oil related business or are you one of the "lucky few" i really hate to say that but i guess having a job is better then working in the oil feilds and knowing that any minute your boss can call you into their office and send you home...

I'm literally the only employee and work under the table and not alot of hours so no axe for me. Also the reason I put the quote signs.

But basically the company contracts for contracts that contract for oil companies. But since im 16 and have parents what I live on is education money which is going nowhere unless the city becomes a ghost town.

They are the same price. Because PC components are all imported. Intel is a US company, they sell their processors in USD. Nvidia is a US company, they sell their GPU's in USD, AMD is a US compan... you get the idea.

 

However, if you want to buy a local beer in Canada at the moment since your dollar got weaker the beer got cheaper for outsiders.

Actually PC components got cheaper

the number on the sticker stayed the same throughout the decrease in $ value so we are actually paying the same amount of "value" on the international market as the USA now

Well, yes. You are actually paying exactly what people in murica pay now. At least for cpu's and gpu's, I checked.

yes i see what you mean, if you do a conversion then they match prices but in the sense of our dollar it costs us more to buy since wages are the same from what i seen, so we both get payed say 15 an hour but your 15$ is worth more then my 15$ if that makes sense

there is no way it goes that far, like I said Canada is too big and too stable to go into depression, there is no factor that could push you there.

if oil collapses which it did, and mining collapsed at the same time, that would push it, at that point agriculture would be that last thing thats making money

Russia is in 'war', oil collapsed, they banned imports and aren't exporting much and they still will live. Like I said, if you think things are bad in Canada you can't imagine how bad it's in Russia.

Tesla should make a $35k or less van so people can live in them when shit gets too expensive.

Think about it, free fuel, place to sleep, and you can move anywhere.
