With the exchange rate as it is, plus the ridiculously bad currency conversion fees on most credit cards, just add 45 - 50% to the USD price and that's roughly what you're going to be paying in CDN.

Actualy, the real slang is even weirder. Unofficialy it's called the Canadian loonie or loonies

elaborate.

It was a joke Sir. :P I picked it up from The Onion.

I apologize of I offended anyone.

That is something I actually won't joke about. Canada played a huge part in storming the beaches at Normandy. That's a place in history no one can take from them.

Not to mention the huge part we played in World War I, and in the Korean War.

Canadian money is on here. You just have to scroll down to M for monopoly money to see it.

Canada is capable of violence. They're just triggered by things like opposing hockey teams, and this type of thing doesn't get any documentation from the news because it's expected behavior.

Point of order! In the history of the NHL only four teams that led the league in penalty minutes went on to win the Stanley Cup, and they were ALL from the States! :P

And BTW the 1st ever pro hockey team was in the States. In fact it was fifty miles down the road from me.

T, FTFY.

;)

Part of me thinks all that civilized behavior and constant apologizing is just one big smoke screen. In fact, Canada probably has dozens of crack infantry divisions hiding in the woods, ready to invade the USA on a moment's notice... ready to march down here and make us all watch hockey and put the Queen of England back on our currency.

Oh yeah? Then how do you explain <span class="bold">this guy</span>? :p


<i>In Flanders Fields</i> came out of WWI. It's still one of my favorite poems, and something I don't joke about either.

That is indeed a good soldier. But who's the guy dressed in red standing next to him?

That's not fair! You've got a rock! All I have is this machine gun. Oh mother of pearl, here comes another one!

Well excuse me for trying to be a sport! Sor-ry!

Actually in truth most Canadians don't really care for the monarchy. We don't have that sort of cultural commonality with England. There is still affinity for England itself and a lot of British culture but not really any particular interest in the monarchy. As for the hockey bit.. well...
