An era in which Americans going to Canada won&#8217;t find half price hookers and half dollar beer nights. That&#8217;s right. If you can remember all the way back to January 2003, <a href=\"http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/currency\/convert?from=USD&amp;to=CAD&amp;amt=1&amp;t=5y\">Americans were getting an extra 65 cents<\/a> on their Canadian Dollars. Today, not so much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So how did Canada make such a big comeback? The answer isn&#8217;t so much that Canada is making a comeback as much as the American Dollar is underachieving like it&#8217;s Mike York and Sergei Samsonov rolled into one. This is yet another sign that the (American) apocalypse is upon us. I&#8217;m going to start buying canned food and batteries right now. Actually, I&#8217;ll probably just move to Canada. That&#8217;s so much easier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">You may not be able to get things at half price when you to go Canada anymore, but at least the drinking age in Canada is still 18. And there&#8217;s free health care. And the rest of the world likes them. And there&#8217;s lots and lots of hockey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">How much longer until the 2008 elections? _uacct = &#8220;UA-1868762-1&#8221;; urchinTracker(); <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Park Mothers Against CanadaSFAngels.com Well folks, you can forget about traveling to Canada any time soon.
