Turning Over A New Leaf
As American we underestimate the Canadians.
To be blunt, the problem is the exchange rate. You can get like 1,000 Candian Ruples for a quarter, and while that might be fun, it wears off pretty quick when the shop keeper pretends to only speak French and bilks you out of all your Pink Money.
My latest theroy puts forth that Candians are actually a highly advanced society, that purposely manipulates the exchange rate so that we will overlook them and stay out of their freaking business. Here are some important facts about Canada for you to study:
* All Canadians know each other (did you ever notice that? I spent 30 years in New Jersey, and I dont know a goddamned soul over there, yet you can pull any two Candians out of a hat and they will talk about old times and get along famously)
* Canadians dont like to kill people. They dont bother saber rattling and going to strange parts of the world looking for someone to shoot. They also wont kill their own kind, I dont think they even have murder in Canada, I mean dont these people own any guns?!?!
* They drink beer with more alcohol in it. How come we didnt think of that? Highly Advanced.
* They invented Pam Anderson
I have this other theroy, that the Canadians are only nice to us because they want our recipe for Bacon. Everybody knows Candian Bacon is just a round slice of ham....dunno

Actually...our dollar is now trading at over 85 cents. So, no you don't get a thousand rubles for the quarter. Sorry. Though, there was a time when it felt like you did. In the late 1960's and early '70's - it actually went the other way. Our dollar was worth more than yours. Our per capita economic output was a little higher. Then, of course, came the "dark times."
But yeah. We need your bacon recipe and we'll invade Spokane to get it!!
HA!
Yeah, I'm not certain of the exchange rate, but it was just a sad example of how little Americans know of Canadians. We just know our money is worth alittle more and that you guys have cheap drugs.
Here's the other thing. Arent you guys Americans too? I'm hestiant to be so ignorant as to just to assume we have that title but I dont know what else to call ourselves.
I'm headed north for a trunkfull Of Cilais!
Well, we occasionally refer to ourselves as North Americans. But we never use the term Americans.
lest we cause "Brand Identity Confusion."
Hailing from the Great North I can attest that everyting said here is entirely true. However the american dollar is falling in our country making online american shopping much more enticing
Hey - I blogged yer blog!
