This thread was going to be about the
Canadian dollar reaching par with the american dollor, but while reading the article I noticed this:
Canada, the world's eighth-biggest economy, has benefited from rising demand for copper, gold, wheat and oil from neighboring U.S. and emerging economies such as India and China. The country is the world's largest producer of uranium, the second-biggest exporter of natural gas, and sits on the largest pool of oil reserves outside the Middle East. Canada is also the world's second-largest exporter of wheat, which rose to a record this month.
...which naturally implies the title of this thread.
If our money is worth the same how come a god damn Wii is is still $289.99 here?
