#7 = jab at the Canadian dollar's occasionally pitiful exchange rate vs the US coin.

but the wrong way around.

If you knew what the usual exchange of CDN/USD was versus its current state, it'd make more sense.

Usual = CDN$1.00 = USD$0.74
Current = CDN$1.00 = USD$0.84

That's a big difference.

No, there's 300 Canadian dollars to 1 American dollar. They screwed it up. If I were to take 1 American dollar to currency exchange, I would get ~300 Canadian dollars.

The Canadian dollar is doing quite well right now...it's 83cents / 1 US dollar. Oh, and they don't lie about the Canadian women. :)

Also, mounties?? ROFL...I have lived in Canada my whole life and never once seen one. We actually do have police officers. :p

Yup #8 is ridiculous.

The NWMP (NorthWest Mounted Police) became the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) which are our Federal police officers. Same thing as the FBI or the US Marshal's Office. Provincial Police are like US State Troopers. Municipal police do the city duties.

NWMP office Sam Steele is famous for enforcing the law without drawing his gun.

I'm English and I live in Canada, so I'll start.

1.) I agree.
2.) Depends on the individual, but there really is dick all once you stray far from the border.
3.) I wouldn't be surprised if the US gets greater annual snowfall than Canada.
4.) The majority of players in the NHL are Canadian, regardless of where the team is located. Canadians are better than Americans at hockey and that is an undisputable fact.
5.) True. Annual unemployment rate is worse.
6.) America is the fattest country in the world.
7.) Canadian Dollar is worth about .82 American. Gap is closing.
8.) I agree.
9.) I agree.
10.) I agree!
