Yeah i'd take slightly higher gas prices for higher cdn dollar value too. Especially since i only fill up once every 2 months now (taking the ttc).

I'm glad to hear that Amero is a hoax....well it better be. But you never know what is really gonna happen. Of course i'd hate to have to lose our canadian nationality to integrate with the US but this "idea" is not very far off if you really think about it.

Just look at the Euro. France and other countries had to give up their own currency and that's a big thing to lose. Slowly money is taking over everything and nationality/borders won't mean anything anymore if it means living in poverty. I bet most canadians would gladly give up their nationality and any Canadian identity if it meant living wealthy instead of in poverty.

I don't mean to be a cynic and i wish we'd be honourable and loyal to our roots and heritage and nationality but this is really quickly becoming a notion of the past as money is the only thing that matters now both for corporations, families, and even individuals.

If you had to choose between being a Canadian but watching ur kids live in poverty and eat out of the dumpsters OR be an American and live wealthy..... you know what you'd pick.

It's the whole reason why people migrate (immigrate and emmigrate) because of money and a better life.....it's sad but hey, it's true and survival is the most powerful human instinct....even if it means giving up your country and history.

So Amero i hope is a hoax ...but i don't doubt something like that could EASILY happen here anytime soon.
