If your dollar worries you, you increase the money supply. Crank up the presses enough, and churn out enough Canadian loonies and you soon have a weaker, more competitive dollar. That's the same old school approach. No need to get any fancier than that. It has happened because Canada's monetary policies have not kept pace with the other major world nations, including the USA. Too conservative. What Canada needs to do is to loosen its money supply consistent with the other nations, to fall into place among them, not to stand out like a sore conservative thumb. Cheers.
