Horror of Horrors: US Dollar Now as Worthless as Canadian Dollar!
Well, I guess Americans such as myself can no longer make fun of our neighbors to the north. It wasn't so long ago that the almighty American dollar was so strong in Canada that I could wander across the border and with the loose change in my pocket buy a couple of Canadian manservants to clean my house and wash my laundry.
This is not the case anymore. The US dollar, after hitting an all-time low against the euro earlier this week, has continued its dismal slide to the point where one US dollar is now equal to one Canadian dollar.
Yes, folks, it's a 1-to-1 exchange rate with the Canucks!
Can it get any worse?!?!? Not only has Canada become an expensive travel destination for us poor American mopes, but now our entire nation is going to be "on sale" as legions of Canadians pour across the border in search of shiny trinkets and cheap baseball hats.

It's true, myself and some fellow Canucks are already planning a Thanksgiving weekend trip...That's Canadian Thanksgiving, which is the second Monday in October...Or maybe a trip during American Thanksgiving and subsequently Black Friday would be more advantageous?

We'll give you back Shatner and Michael J. Fox if you don't swoop up all our real estate!

Does that mean our dollar's gone looney?

I felt the wrath of the Canadian dollar earlier this month in oh-so expensive Vancouver, B.C.
Ouch!
