Canadian dollar wother more then US greenback.

Of course it will, the canadian looney will allow our northern alien folks the opportunity to buy more imported goods from the USA such as space heaters for their igloos.

The Loonie's strong against the Euro as well.

Good news for Canadians who aren't living on U.S. or European pensions.

Re: Canadian dollar wother more then US greenback.

i hate when that happens. now when i'll go back to slovakia i will be the "poor relative from america".

Hmmm....interesting.

I remember hearing a while back that there were fears (in the US) that the American dollar may no longer be the currency used to measure oil prices. Has the rising loonie and the long term strength of the Euro done anything to legitimize that fear? Or is that an entirely different issue.

I'm pretty clueless about economics, especially with respect to the US dollar being the international standard for trade.

You don't need a space heater in your igloo if you wear a toque, a parka and pair of mukluks.

Don't you know nuttin'?

I love it when that happens! Especially right before I go to the US!

It'll be like playing monopoly...

Some people say I'm a no 'count. Others say I'm no good.
But I'm just a nat'ral-born travelin' man, doin' what I think I should, O, yeah. Doin' what I think I should.

[Chorus:]
And I don't give a damn about a greenback dollar, spend it as fast as I can.
For a wailin' song and a good guitar, the only things that I understand, poor boy, the only things that I understand.

When I was a little baby, my momma said, "Hey, son. Travel where you will and grow to be a man
And sing what must be sung, poor boy. Sing what must be sung."

[Chorus]

Now that I'm a grown man, I've traveled here and there. I've learned that a bottle of brandy and a song,
The only ones who ever care, poor boy, the only ones who ever care.

Finally! Now I can use my US quarters to get stuff on the cheap from those Canadian vending machines.

No such thing as cheap stuff in vending machines anymore, bubba.

I wanted all these years and now no cheap stuff for my quarters? Boy, life isn't fair.
