I actually caught it Brian, just couldn't refuse a chance to take a dig
at the folks who live in our biggest national park. Young folks may not
remember it but the Canadian dollar used to be worth about a dime more
than the US one. IIRC the Canadian dollar was pegged to the British
pound at the time. At that time my Canadian friends used to send me
letters offering to exchange my US dollars for "real" money. All good
fun of course.
