No.  I would say goods are either the same or more expensive.<p>I remember coming to the US and being shocked you could buy a pair of Levi&#x27;s for $30 when they were closer to $70-80 in Canada.<p>When the Canadian dollar was at par with the US, there were a ton of Canadians going south to buy cars.  Before hitting par, the numbers made sense (convert US price to CAD and you get pretty close).  Once it was at par you could save thousands of dollars buying a US car and bringing it across the border.
