When I first started coming to Mexico from the States in 1998, the exchange rate for the US dollar was only 9/1. It is now predicted to top out at 18/1--double the value. No matter. My nationality should make no difference in a peso economy.
Since I actually moved to Mexico 14 years ago, I've refused to pay rent quoted in any currency other than pesos or, for that matter, pay for any classes, tickets, fundraisers or fees charged in another currency as a matter of principle. Also, to the best of my knowledge, it's not legal.
At this time of year, Canadians comprise the majority of tourists and part-time residents on the Costalegre. You should not have to buy US dollars with Canadian dollars, as you are not in the United States. Why not just say so? (In a nice way, of course.) There is power in numbers.
My 2 (US) cents...
