dollar

In Canada, a beer costs $2.  What is that, like a billion dollars American?  I can't count how many times I've heard things like that the other way around.  It delights me that the Canadian dollar has achieved parity with the American dollar this week; for the first time in 31 years mind you, which spans my entire lifetime.  What does it all mean you ask?  It means the border lineups of Canadians going to the USA to pilfer consumer goods, often costing 30% less, will go way up.  It means that the Canadian tourism industry will suffer because less Americans will be coming up here.  It means that the "Brain Drain" is definitely over.  Most importantly, it means I will be making fun of every American I come across the same way they've made fun of me my entire life.  Here's hoping the days of $0.62 are permanently behind us!
