It's weaker than let's say Pound Sterling or the Euro for example. But, does a weak CAD affect international travel towards Canadian travelers? Since they'll be paying more whilst abroad requiring CAD in higher amounts to exchange for larger sums of cash (like if 1000€ = C$1617 that alone is a steep hike while C$1000 = 618€ see the difference?). Also, when you travel: do you bring CAD or exchange for USD first prior due to that having a better exchange rate?

The thing I don't get is how the USA can shit their pants as badly as they have since throwing Trump in charge, and yet their dollar somehow still has value. That's fucking wild.

It's all made up, that's why.
