The dollar has dropped...AGAIN.
This sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before.
I arrived October 3 and it was 24,000 to the dollar.
Today it has dropped to 10,000.
To give an idea of what this means...A Snickers bar that was once 40 cents is now a dollar. A taxi ride that was once one dollar is now two, and a kilo of tomatoes now costs about $1.50 when it was before about 40 cents.
Why why why does this keep happening?
A piece of my heart lies here forever

The US cannot continue to support an economy based on credit-inflated currency.
Time to go back to the gold standard.
The economy sucks. Period. Gas down here is about $4.33 a gallon now. Foreclosures are rampant. Unemployement is getting higher. Food and every other product distributed by means of petroleum is going up up up. Recession is here! Canada's lookin' pretty good right now. Actually anywhere outside the US is.
It's true. It's getting rough over here. :(
Canada is not a friendly place for bloggers...
