Rob is right.  Stores for sure, especially when the C$ reached par; and I just learned if the Canadians are on a wait list for angioplasty procedures (i.e. stents) in Canada, they come down to go shopping, get heart palpitations, go over to the hospital to get examined, find out they need the procedure.  Classify it as an “emergency” and Canadian healthcare will reimburse the US Hospital.

Cicero, 55 BC
