Hi again

Yes- I'm old enough to remember those days when our dollar was worth more than
yours. Those were short-lived glory days indeed. Then the Liberal politicians
decided that Canada should be turned into a socialists' paradise and our
country went straight to hell (defininately a lower altitude!) in a
handcart...

There was a time when our dollar was pinned to gold as wel. *whoooosh* out the
window and our dollar has been in freefall ever since. Heaven save us from
politicians!!
