Good for you!

Too bad for my gay friends that are coming to Vancouver in a week to get married, but good for you!

They figure they'll spend about 20% more than they'd planned.

The newspapers today are filled with price comparisons between Canada and the U.S. and how much money you can save on things by going south, even after paying for gas and duty fees.

Retailers here are greedy.

I like Canadian money because they're smart enough to use coins that are actually worth something. Damn this American paper cash.

I guess this means that Hollywood won't be shooting [insert US City here] scenes in Toronto anymore.

I'm guessing you got a coin purse for Christmas. I for one can't wait for all coins to be abolished from currency. Their jingling in my pocket always attracts homeless people to ask me for money. If I buy something for $3.08 or some odd amount of coins, they will just take the three and tell me not to worry about it. And those dollar coins are a real nightmare in which some idiot at the register accused me of forgery for pulling out those Sacajaweas I got from a vending machine. Ugh!

Coins stink! Paper Rules! The next best thing would be a finger scan that is directed to your bank account. That would be hard to top!

Paper money is stupid because you can't use it reliably in vending machines. It's such a pain in the ass to try to feed a bill to one of those scanner things, only to have it spit it back out because the bill is all mangled and shit.

And all US money is the same colour so I have to actually look at the numbers when paying for something. Multi-coloured bills help handi-capped people!

Canadian bills have little plastic Braille symbols embedded in them. You can still feel them even if the bill is kinda crumpled up.

Hopefully, if the North American Union comes to fruition, we'll have you yokels using our money so you can know what real currency is all about.

I learned this week that facebook is the top website in Canada.



I think that negates the whole parity thing with the dollar.

Actually, it's because socialism really sucks!

We are not propping up a nationalized medical system.

We have a huge economy w/ less regulation. Free market rocks.

Plus, you guys do not have a large diversity of natural resources; there are many white collar economic refugees in Asia teaching English (tens of thousands of Canadians) because there are no real jobs in Canada.

People with college degrees are waiters in Canada (!!!).

Your country sucks dicks.
