Canadian Dollar Increase in the near future

With the throne speech given mid week, it looks like the government is going to bring down the barriers to foreign investment which should translate into an increase in our dollar as big deals will start to take place. Now the budget has to pass and i am sure they are going to make tweaks to it over time sector by sector but speculation should cause the currency to rise.

Good news to Buyers / Consumers
Not so good to Canadian Business / Manufacturing

Within 6 months , a 10 cent advantage over the US dollar is possible.
