The loonie broke through 72 cents U.S. late last week and continued to hold in trading on Monday , rising to a level last seen in November 2024 .

The Canadian dollar’s current value is something of a change for the not-so-long-ago beleaguered currency.

The strengthening of the Canadian dollar has consequences.

80 per cent of Canada ’s merchandise exports were sent to the U.S. in February .

China came a distant second , accounting for 3.8 per cent , while Japan was fourth at 1.7 per cent and Germany , France and Spain combined took in 1.5 per cent .

“Trade diversification is part of the answer for us,” Robson said.
