Point Roberts dulled by sagging loonie

They're definitely feeling the pinch in the Point. Businesses in the tiny U.S. peninsula of Point Roberts have seen sales fall along with the declining Canadian dollar, but that doesn't mean shoppers have stopped crossing the line entirely.

Border crossings into Point Roberts dropped about 14 per cent last year compared to 2014, due in large part to the sagging loonie. The Canadian dollar has slid further this year, having dipped below the 70-cent U.S. level for the first time since 2003.
