1 : 81 is strong for the CAD, only once in my life has it been at parity with usd.

I'm guessing Intel is trying to get rid of the 7th gen cpu cause 8 gen is coming really soon? 

 

Also, the struggle of being Canadian is hard. A 1080ti cost 1k+,1070 - 600$ and 1080 - 800$. If you ask me, anyone who is Canadian with a 1070/1080 must have a beast of a system.

Yup, 2011-2012 was the only time in the last 27 years (maybe ever?) It's been 1:1
