And don't speak too harshly about those Republicans. You can thank the

record breaking deficit spending for driving down the US dollar to be
close to par for you guys.
Bush is actually a Canadian spy, don't ya know. We knew we'd look good
in comparison. In fact, during your last election I remember saying -
"Well, Bush may be bad for the planet, but he is GOOD for Canada." It's
an ill wind and all that . . .
On cue, our manufacturing and tourism people are now crying and moaning
about the strength of our dollar. They say sales will start to drop off
as our goods become more expensive. Tourism is down as many Americans
find that Canada isn't the cheap deal it once was. Then we have Bush's
new law requiring a passport or expensive identity card for US citizens
to get back into their own country. Land of the Free indeed!
What our tourism people fail to see is that Americans, on the whole,
aren't going anywhere anymore. Pansies!
