huh? it says the US dollar is still bigger:
"and 1.0431 Canadian dollars, down from 1.0479."down again, but 1 CA dollar is not worth more than 1 US dollar.

"1.0431 Canadian dollars, down from 1.0479"
USD 1 can buy you CDN 1.04

nah it won't ever pass the US$... someone upstairs is keeping us in check.
99.999 maybe, but never 100.001
still pretty incredible story. all-time low of 61.79 US cents on Jan. 21, 2002.

4 years ago the euro was worth 80 cents, now it is worth over $1.30
this country is changing big time. At least we are still higher than the argentinean peso.

"nah it won't ever pass the US$... someone upstairs is keeping us in check."
true - a strong dollar will hurt our exports to the states. i expect the bank of canada will try to cool the dollar off with a interest rate hike.

It's definitely better for Canadians buying stuff from the States though ;)

i moved to US at the worst time....

I disagree. I think we have more of what the US needs than the other way around. And it'll be cheaper for them to get it here than from overseas.
As natural resources become more scarce, Canada will get richer. Just wait until water becomes a highly traded commodity. We're not there yet - but the day will come when water trades at a higher dollar value per barrell than oil.
