So having your purchasing power drop by 30-40% does not justify even a little whining? Gotta love the generalizations about a whole nation of people, I think the comment is more of a statement on your attitude than Canadians but since I am sure part of your judgement also sees us as "easygoing, EH saying people who are too nice" we'll just leave it at that.,

Calling us Canadians "TIGHT"is an insult, L.O.L., soon come

Guess you haven't met many. Kind of like me saying I haven't meant any Americans that weren't ignorant.

Whoa there, Sandman. We have more than our share (the wood people), absolutely, but we're not all like that. Far from it.

I know TAH. But when you generalize about an entire country like that it displays both arrogance and ignorance. The vast majority of Americans I have met have been really nice. But there's always a jerk in the crowd.

As for those posting that our dollar has been strong up until recently, that if not accurate. We bave been under par with the greenback for a long time now, just been getting real bad the last couple years.
