- stinkypyper, on 10/10/2007, -23/+220I am happy for Canada and sad for the United States.
America, why do you continue to let uneducated, creationist, hillbillies vote in ex-cocaine using, ex-alcoholic, Vietnam circumventing, company ruining, old money having, vote rigging, retarded presidents? This guy has gone way past impeachment, he needs to be executed. You can't even list the sheer level of corruption of Bush, his family, and all his friends. Make a list, start with Daddy heading the CIA and work your way up till now. It's disgusting. Do people actually critically think about who they vote for, or do they just believe what the television tells them? - Bigg3h, on 10/10/2007, -2/+136Don't mind paying the taxes, do mind paying more for goods then we really should.
Have you seen the discrepancy in car prices it's almost criminal. Take the Toyota Prius it's ~22K US v. ~29K CDN, that is simply exceptionable price gouging by an automaker. - realclark, on 10/10/2007, -4/+118Bring back the Canadian one dollar bill, our strippers are bruised from all the loonies thrown at them....
- superfusion, on 10/10/2007, -5/+113How many American Pesos for that loone? JK It's a culture shock for Canadians to know that the money in their wallet can buy the goods for sale on U.S. TV with no "adjustment".
For 30 years, stuff like a $99 blender was always really $137 or something. Now, it's $99 (plus 14%!). - tastypickles, on 10/10/2007, -7/+97Proof America should introduce nifty coins ($1 & $2) and colored bills (blue, green, red, purple, etc.) instead of all those confusing green paper things.
- Shuk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+79Bigg3h is right. Companies need to fix their prices fast, before the loonie is more powerful than US dollar. I'm pissed about paying 60 bucks versus 50 bucks for a new video game. Imagine if I wanted to buy a car! Now is the time to start using ebay!
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/10/2007, -5/+78Quick everyone get to eBay!
(Oh and before Bush, .64 USD = 1 CAD) - echeese, on 10/10/2007, -4/+75I, for one, welcome our new northern overlords.
- Weip, on 10/10/2007, -2/+65Yeah! Canada FTW.
Now I hope I can buy my xbox 360 @ $350, not $450! PLEASE FIX THE PRICE SOMEONE!!! - whereisian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+60Let the "X dollars. What's that in American?" jokes commence.
- Sithlrd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+59Diebold votes for us.
- Seidoger, on 10/10/2007, -1/+58Canadians, let's road trip!
- theghoul, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56Sweet! Now I dont mind 7-11 slipping Canadian coins in my slurpee change.
Go LOONIE! - Zergo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+53I'll wait a couple more months before going on a shopping spree. Once our dollar is worth $1.10 american or so.
- dawtcalm, on 10/10/2007, -4/+54SUCK IT AMERICA!!!
JK, we'll all be down this weekend to shop, see ya soon!
But agree with above, damn companies need to update pricing here in Canada! - Dark4eons, on 10/10/2007, -6/+53HELLOOOOOOOOO NEWEGG!
- TrevorBradley, on 10/10/2007, -2/+48I've got my passport... Europe, here we come!
(Wait, you couldn't have possibly meant going to the US? That place is scary!) - FRANKeB, on 10/10/2007, -0/+43Sometimes it's nice to live an hour and a half away from the U.S. border. This is one of those times. Electronics shopping, here I come.
- Scienceisfun, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39Only 6% if you live in Alberta!
- TripleAStacked, on 10/10/2007, -8/+43Alot of people think this is a good advancement for the Canadian economy but in reality it isn't. This will hurt the Canadian economy in the near future. 90% of Canadian export go to the United States and mainly because of currency difference but now the Americans would rather find someone else than us because this would inflict on their profit. Simple as that. One of our main exports was soft wood lumber and they are reporting the lowest % of housing development in the United States due to the recent CAD increase .
i wonder what politicians are going to say about this issue on the upcoming election. Who ever can keep the Canadian economy moving with the current currency value will have my vote. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36B-but... the gays and the abortions!
- Waiting2awake, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37Turn about is fair play. He doesn't stop for a second to think about the people he is executing.
- manitoba98xp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33As a Canadian, I hereby order you Americans to elect a better President this time around. That's all, eh.
- RXFireball, on 10/10/2007, -4/+36..... That's it, I'm moving to Canada.
- megadan76, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31It would still be worth it, since the beer here is actually good :D
- Rikushix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29I distinctly remmeber being eight years old and on the BC ferries, if anyone from there knows them, and in the arcade that's so identifiable with kids who've ever been on them. I remember one kid in the arcade pressing the start button over and over again, and I said to him helpfully "I think it costs a loonie." He looks at me and says "What the heck is a loonie?"
"You're american, right?"
"How'd you know?" - oderdigg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+28I have a better idea.
Let the US taxpayers claim that GWB is a enemy non-combatant and have him serve time in Guantanamo Bay. 10-15 years should be suffice. - Loki, on 10/10/2007, -9/+35for clarity....you are actually calling for the execution of a US president?
- TheCosmicFool, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27He cant answer you, hes already been sent to Guantanamo care of GW
- Rikushix, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Canada* FTW.
- TrevorBradley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25The strippers up here only take Canadian 5's. It's amusing when Americans come up and offer up American 1's. They're ignored!
- oderdigg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25Do tell. What is sad about being an evolutionist?
- tehnico, on 10/10/2007, -3/+26Pfft, you can't afford it honey.
- thoughtbubble, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24I heard on CBC radio that on the global stage, Canadians are effectively 40% wealthier now than we were 5 years ago because of the loonie's rise and greenback's fall. But they pointed out that it doesn't really matter, unless you were to sell all your possessions and relocate to the US. And somehow, I don't think too many Canadians are keen on doing that at the moment. Nice weather or not, I'll wait until the next elections before I even visit.
In the meantime, ebay here I come. - megadan76, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23I can't wait to go on a huge eBay spree.
Now if only eBay and Paypal would fix their adjustment rates for the two currencies. - 4j4x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2216Gb iPod Touch in the US is $399. In Canada it's $449, yet the currencies are on par. Thousands of other examples!
- Synthetik, on 10/10/2007, -4/+25This pisses me off 16GB iPod Touch $399.00 / $507.37 (13% tax):

***** off government for taxing us so much! ***** off compainies for still screwing us on exchange rates! - oceanrain, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23The Great White North is now greener than the USA! And they thought it was because of global warming!
We better get our wheelbarrels ready. - tehnico, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23Hmmm, execution yes, after a fair and speedy trial, should he be found guilty of a crime where the punishment would suit, then yes, execution would be fair and legal. I think you are thinking assassination. But, that would be wrong.
- Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Months?
- Chewie67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Those of you saying that we can't afford it obviously know nothing about the American culture. We're a country of Credit Cards, Mortgages and a Trillion Dollar Deficit. Not having any money doesn't stop us from spending it.
- Ford_Prefect2nd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Though the win is a loss, Canada relies on exports, we are a resource rich nation... exports are hurt (as the dollar is still a dollar domestically of course) by a rising dollar, as the relative cost of items increases... Especially with the US dollar dropping, the US of course being our largest trading partner and vise versa. Why would the Yanks by Canadian, when the US product is the same price?
- Valleye, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21I miss the days when a video game cost a quarter.
- IEatHamburgers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Why must America fail at everything we do lately? It's like our country just doesn't give a damn anymore.
- pp7k, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Damn, maybe we should tighten our borders. Perhaps we should start a Minuteman project here, to stop the onslaught of economic immigrants.
Oh the irony! - LordByr0n, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Hopefully with the high CAD we can finally get some more hockey teams.
Cough*likeInHamilton*cough - willin, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Actually Canada's dependence on the US has declined significantly. That 90% number is about 5 years old, its now less than 70%. Basically mirroring the decline in importance internationally of the US economy.
- rufo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Too late - we should've done it earlier while it was still cheap.
- kagetemplar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17mostly softwood, grains and ores. oil is just Aberta really...
tariffs don't help either. -
