I would buy stuff with my hard earned money, and because I was a kid, the clerks would slip me Canadian coins with my change only to later find out I couldn't buy anything with it. Your government stole money from an eight year old kid, by printing worthless money. That was my thinking as a child.<BR>> <BR>> I grew out of my childish thinking and have grown to appreciate the things that Canada has to offer the world, while realizing no people or country is entirely good. <BR>> <BR>> You obviously haven't grown past that childish stage.
