Actually, the Loonie has been doing quite well for us Canucks who purchase goods from the States. Some days we're at par with the Greenback, some days slightly above, and some days slightly below. Overall, though, it is much better--for us--then what it used to be.

As for the price of BF or SF Fender amps, well, just about anything goes now-a-days north or south of the 49th parallel. Aging baby boomers + large disposable incomes = increase vintage amp prices.

Free market economy at its finest.

I figure in about 20 -30 years you'll be able to go to a pawn shop and pick up BF and SF amps for a song as the grandchildren of the baby boomers try to unload gramp's old ratty amp that no one seems to want. Now, if I can just stay alive long enough and keep those fingers nimble I might have a crack at owning one of these amps.
