Mr. Flaherty’s budget will affect Canadians in their everyday life, beyond planning for retirement and outside their workplaces. As of June 1, 2012, travelers visiting the United States for more than 24 hours can bring home $200 worth of goods rather than the current $50, and a 48-hour-plus trip means bringing home upward of $800 in purchases — double the current exemption limit.
way to go Fucko, you sit there and grin like an idiot telling Canadians we have to work hard to improve our economy, and then you go and make it more profitable for the traitors to the cause to spend their dollars elsewhere
as for the other, living in a border town the new amounts really stink, lots of cross border shoppers here spending money that would be better spent here
I was trying to figure out how that was supposed to be a benefit to our economy. All I could come up with is that our dollar will drop and more Americans will vacation here again. Bit of a stretch eh.
maybe he's currying favour with a perceived US administration to be

Well, I was going to organize a group to come up there and spend US$ like drunken sailors (Mostly because the group would comprised almost entirely of sailors, drunken or otherwise), but then we looked at a map.
Jesus!
You're a long fricking way from anywhere near here.
