How A Loon Outpaced A President

That's right all pasty and plaided fellow Northern denizens, for the first time in years, the Canadian dollar has outperformed the American's in overall growth. Does that mean the loonie is worth more than the mighty American dollar? Hells no.
As of today, though, the Canadian dollar is at 86 cents to the American dollar, an achievement of astronomical proportions. Seeing that anything we consider greater than a reduction in McDonald's burger prices as astronomical. Hear that Bank of Canada? You're almost as great as the McDonald's Corporation. So what does this all mean?

It means us Canadians are beginning to kick ass, and it's about damn time. Ever since we sat out on the Iraqi War, I had come to the conclusion that we were lacking of balls. That we were no longer true men. That we had forsaken our long and proud lumberjacking, log rolling heritege of warriors. But now that our money can once again play with the big boys, although still quite gay in colour, our whole society and culture can follow suit. Listen people, we aren't French (As long as we exclude Quebec). We can do better. We too can rise to challenge of murdering thousands of innocents to ensure our middle eastern conglomerates can thrive. I believe, and I think you can too.
