The US Dollar is Pathetic

July 25, 2007 on 6:21 pm | In Personal, Politics |

During my entire childhood and most of my adult life, I’ve known that the Canadian Dollar was worth $0.75. Today, while vacationing with my wife in Montreal, QC, I exchanged $100 (US) for Canadian dollars (what we affectionately refer to as “Canadabucks”).

I handed the nice lady at our hotel’s front desk $100 (US), and she handed me back $100 (Canadian).

And 39ยข.

I verified that this is right in line with today’s exchange rate (1 US Dollar = 1.03853 Canadian Dollar), minus a couple of bucks for a conversion fee.
How the mighty have fallen.
