idk about American inflation, but as a Canadian getting paid in USD, the value of USD has decline significantly since last year. Lowest since 2009:

I got a nearly 10% raise thanks to a strong Canadian economy and weak American one. Keep it up guys.

> the value of USD has decline significantly since last year

According to your chart a year ago 1 CAD got you around 1 USD and today it gets you 0.90 USD. Normally that's not interpreted as a decline in the strength of the dollar.

Unless I've had a stroke this morning, according to this chart, the value of the USD has strengthened compared to the CAD over the last few years.
