3. Smart bastards!
They're banking on the general population not knowing how the Canadian dollar sits w/respect to the American one.

I love Canada!

10. You'd have to be hiding in a cave
to not know the loonie is worth more than the US dollar. It's on the news everywhere.

Bizarre that the Canadian gov't isn't even using its own currency.

16. Seriously?
I guess I'm thinking like an American. In that case, it is bizarre, unless the government is looking to unload a bunch of bills that are rapidly becoming worth relatively little.

5. First prize: $1000
Second prize: $1500 :rofl: God, I love this exchange rate!
Booby prize: A weekend at WEM water park, open sores required

It's not so bad, the contest is open to Americans too, and if a Canuckistanian wins (s)he can take it in C$ if preferred.

21. Yeah, that's a classic
I still remember the original ones, though. That soothing voice, with "For more on the naked mole rat, why not contact the Canadian Wildlife Service, in Ottawa." You know, thinking of that, his voice sure sounded like the Friendly Giant's. Good ol' Friendly, rest in peace, my friend.
