Hunker in. Borrow as little as you can. Recycle. Reuse. Share. Borrow from the neighbor. Do some horse trading. Trade work. Do without.

Things are going to get tough IMHO

And landtaxes will ^

I havent been worried in the past about the effects of
arising currency on us canadian farmers,but now it
seems possible that our dollar could go to an extreme
evaluation-not good.

Of course the proffesionals havent brought this up
yet,so dont worry about until it happens,and then they
bring it up.

The worst effect will be the government's abiility to impose ever-increasinf taxes.

Municipalities. Cities. Provinces. Feds.

And they will tax you so they can survive. They will put themselves first, and farmers will come last.

You can hedge in Euros, for example. Eat what you grow. BUT, taxes are the worst nightmare. Countless lost their land during the thirties. And China has billions in reserve, waiting to buy cheap land. Pars

i think it's a given the c$ will rise but it will be held back somewhat by the weakness of the americans, our biggest customers. as far as rising taxes, if the taxpayer doesn't have it the govt won't get it. western economies have become so inefficient with the concentration on one side of a lot of the markets that wealth is being concentrated too and that sector of the population doesn't give up wealth easily. value chains are broken and price discovery has become distorted. this won't be solved easily or quickly.

Will the Can$ rise in value vs. USD?? For a while now the CAD$ seems very closely tied to Crude prices as well as other natural resourses. If there is a colapse in Europe and the USA won't demand for these resourses deminish, hence a lower CAN$ ???

I can't believe the SAS hasn't taught Soros a lesson
yet. Isn't this the second time against the pound?
