Spending in Windsor Cheaper These Days With the Strong American Dollar

Ambassador Bridge

The U.S. dollar's strength has fluctuated in Canada over the decades. These days, it's good to have American money when crossing over into Windsor.

Brian J. O'Connor of The Detroit News writes:

If you’re a Metro Detroit consumer, it’s good news. You can cross the river to Windsor and get an automatic 20 percent discount on anything you buy. Imported goods from Europe and Japan are cheaper than a few years ago, and now’s the perfect time to score a discounted vacation to France, Italy or Cyprus.

The exchange rate benefits Canadian workers on this side of the river who get paid in American money.
