Because of the terrible exchange rate. It's a weird thing... I have an American client that I bill in CAD. We negotiated the rate when the exchange was close to parity, and have continued at the same rate as the canadian dollar has tanked.

The only part that sucks is when I have to order parts or equipment from down south.
