Skyscrapers?  Do we have those in Canada.  You can't hit what
you can't find....

Not that this is off topic or anything.  I would take it off
this list but I am not on the other one.

Yea, but I don't notice the Canadians getting
their skyscrapers pounded by people enraged at
middle east policies, either.

I guess it's a mixed bag, low gas prices.

"You get what you pay for."

Me, I'd rather pay 4$ a gallon, and use it to
get us the F**K out of the Middle East. Period.

You still pay about three times for gas.  Gas prices in Canada as
they are in parts of Europe but they are bad.  Makes me want to
throttle people in Oregon who complain about the gas prices out
here.  Especially since they have no sales tax.

You never know how good you have it until you don't.

The Canadian gallon is not the same as the U.S. gallon.  The Canadian gallon
uses 5 qts. not 4.

My 0.03 Eureo's worth.

I'm not convinced of that. Last time I visited Canada, gas
cost me more Canadian dollars per gallon that U.S. dollars
per gallon in the states. Ditto for coffee, pop, candy bars,
fast-food, etc. In many cases, portions were smaller. I'd
buy a large coffee at McDonalds in Canada and it'd be a lot
smaller than a U.S. large.

I distinctly remember this. I don't remember the flocking
part, but I clearly remember a brief time back when I was a
teenager that the Canadian dollar was worth a few cents more
than ours. So now you've found at least one person who
believes.

Canada's my favorite vacation destination, btw. I had the
holidays off and tried to convince my daughter to go on a
rail/bus trip to Moosonee. I was really excited about the
idea, but Jenny wouldn't hear of it. She actually got mad at
me for even suggestion we travel farther north. So I gave up
on Moosonee for now, and I'm looking at maybe doing a
weekend rail trip to Hearst with my son.
