Default Renew membership $17.95usa, $13.50canada Makes no sense

So if I read the conversion charts right $.96 US dollar buys $1 C dollar. To renew my membership it is $17.95 US or $13.95 Canada. So why the no match numbers?? Are print cost and mailing cheaper in Canada. Less tax. New math??

I know I am starting to watch spending but I was taken back that this caught my eye. Guess I will give the boss the check book and tell her to go do Christmas and I will stay in the garage and tinker till she gets it done. I am getting as cranky as an old Abarth I used to own.

according to Yahoo. 1.0 US dollars equals 1.0544 Canadian dollars. I guess our currency sucks everywhere now.

Funny how simple things drive home a point. Not ten years ago the CDN $ was 1.66 and now its about 1.05. Jakeflyer, the prices make sense because that is what they are. What doesn't make sense is what your government is doing to the US dollar. You can't make yourself richer by making yourself poorer.

Membership is $17.95 US dollars or 13.50 EUROS for the thousands of members in Europe. There is no price in Canadian dollars listed.
