We are suffering a bit of inflation up here as well. Most of our base costs have increased and we are seeing slowing RE Markets in almost every province. This from StatsCan. "Consumer prices rose 3.4% in July 2008 compared with July 2007, an increase from the 3.1% rise recorded in the 12 months to June 2008." Jay,

With the GSE problems and bank failures all over the place, an increase in the dollar almost seems like a calm before the storm.

I guess what goes up must come down. The only thing that leaves me wondering is the strength of this trend and where it might stabilize in the near future. Because with inflation making some noise, the dollar could end up getting weak all over again. Only time will tell. A few days ago the WSJ has a great article on the strengthening US dollar.
