Btw, anybody notice how the us dollar is now tracking the canadian

are going to create a common currency with Canada and Mexico with the
Mexican being pegged at 10 to 1.

ain't gonna happen...this has been debated in our Parliament already and
we've decided not to create a common currency with the US or
Mexico...there was an analogy advanced of trying to swim with a 50lb
Bruce chained to one's neck... however we are looking at much more
attractive options such as the yuan or the rupee...apparently our
tarsands oil reserves are larger than the entire known reserves in the
world...and the Chinese and the Indians are interested buyers...
