from reuters:
"The currency extended its 30-year highs overnight, topping out at C$1.0084, or 99.17 U.S. cents."
took a breather after that.
reaching parity would be great, because i'm so sick of americans dissing the canadian dollar.
here's a personal story: a few years back, i was robbed (a block from campus). some dude hit me from behind, knocking away my glasses and my cell phone, neither of which i ever recovered (lesson: don't talk on your cell when you're walking alone). i only had $12 US dollar on me, so i gave them that.
"i know you got more than that, c'mon gimme all your money!"
"that's all i have... well, here's a twenty dollar canadian."
"no, i want real money!"
so... that's just how worthless canadian money is in most american eyes.
the Wii is an epidemic.
