      Getting seriously tired of the CDN dollar being far below 1:1. It'd be OK if my salary went up 30% to compensate but it never seems to.

        @MattSpeller if you want stable US prices you need to be paid in USD 🙂

          @scottalanmiller I think it's time to ditch both currencies and move to "the dollar"

              @MattSpeller We'll have to call it "the 'Murica" (like the Euro, but 'Murican)

                Oh man... could you image in the uproar over that currency? Half of the US would have fits of seizures just thinking about it.

                    Why does it matter? Unless you mostly buy things from the US?

                          Don't forget the Canadian bacon and Moose Jerky.

                            USA makes just about everything. Loads of manufacturing is in the US. It's famous for how much it makes from manufacturing to media to software.

                              I'm not convinced that either of those things are real things.

                                I've actually had Moose Jerky in Vermont... it is not to my liking. There is also a famous John Candy movie called Canadian bacon if I recall.

                                    Moose Jerky is weird, I really don't like it. Canadian Bacon is awesome.

                                        So what, the media is full of it that the US doesn't manufacture anything anymore? I know that we do some stuff as my dad works on a subway car manufacturing line, well used to. He was so good at fixing broken shop things that they made that his full time job instead.

                                          Sounds about right.

                                            Yup. And things that are not made in the US are quite often assembled there so they are in US currency when sold anyway. Sure, China makes more things than anywhere else. They also consume more things and make the cheapest stuff. The US still makes tons and tons of the stuff that you actually would want to buy.
