Even though your currency is worth more......your economy as a whole is no where near the size, or influence of the United States of America.

the canadian portion of epcot center was one of the most traumatizingly boring events of my young life. it's just this round panoramic movie theater that shows twenty minutes of helicopter footage flying over trees while this horrible queered up 80's version of "O Canada" blares through the speakers over and over again. it's an unbearable eternity of horrible when you're nine and space mountain is right across the park.
so no, i will not sing O Canada with you! in fact, fuck that song!

Good luck keeping your blue collar jobs. Having a strong dollar is a mixed blessing.

I noticed that there haven't been a lot of Canadian quarters floating around these parts any more. Guess I know why now. It must be a plot to send our quarters to Canada.

You are off track about the mixed blessing. As a Canadian, I see no blessing at all. I fail to understand all the hurrah about US / Canada dollar parity. (I suspect it is a misguided sense of nationalistic pride, not at all dissimilar to that which is expressed by Americans in subsequent posts of this thread.) Also, the Canadian economy is by no means any great well oiled machine. The par dollar is really only a function of the US money supply, coupled with the bad debt problem, affecting confidence in the ability to repay. This is something virtually all of the Canadian investment community avoided because the risk factors do not fit the relative conservative Canadian mindset on investment. The negative effects to Canada far outweigh any perceived benefit.
For example: All our exports are worth about 30% less than they were 3 years ago. No manufacturers can realize that amount in efficiency gains, to maintain the margins that were realized prior to parity. Therefore, business will shut down, the economy will slip.
Canadian shoppers will (are) run (ning) to the US for purchases because the same item in the same chain of stores costs 30% more in Canada even though the dollar is at par. Canadian retailers are not smart enough to realize they are screwing their customers.
Net result is that this economy will slip, the US may or may not gain; that remains the topic of much debate and speculation throughout the world.
-------------------- You are a fortunate person indeed, if you can begin each day accepting the fact that during that day there will be ups and downs, good breaks and bad ones, disappointments, surprises, and unexpected turns of events. When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.
