You talk pretty tough considering that you live in a country that has practically no military compared to it's easily annoyed neighbor...

Best of all, you guys have Oil as well! I think that it's time to do a search for Weapons Of Mass Destruction :)

whatever it takes to make the chinese float the yuan.


the japanese seem to be trying to hold the line on the yen - dollar exchange rate. it'd be awesome if we could force them to float too.

I have to agree. I cringe whenever you make these threads, dennilfloss. It reeks of an inferiority complex.

LOL!

I went shopping in NY state this Thanksgiving Monday, and I paid less in CAD$ than US$... not to mention that at the border they simply waved me through... not worth taxing small amounts anymore! :)

What a nice feeling of empowerment!

BTW, something needs to be done about the price of books, which has not yet been updated in Canada...

1. Okay he posts a lot of them.
2. You don't have to read them.
3. Back 6-7 years ago there were tons of Monopoly money jokes and threads.

Thats so wrong.

j/k

It's messed up to do it on a Thursday... Thursday? WTF.

If it's on a Monday then you get a long weekend, (I know most people just take the Friday off but whatever), plus you get to have two Thanksgivings. We did a Sunday turkey with the in-laws, and then the Monday dinner with my parents. It was awesome.
 

So

AFAICT, the entire definition of being Canadian is based on being "not American", so yeah, I'd say they have a pretty bad inferiority complex.

:evil:

They put it on Thursday so we can have black Friday.

Plus we need Friday to eat the leftover turkey. and Sat and Sun to recover from too much food....ughhh....ate...too...much.
