It’s official. The dollar is at it’s worst point versus the Canadian dollar since at least 1962. And it’s getting worse. If you’re not worried, you should be.

So keep watching as the Canadian dollar keeps on rising and rising…..

As a Canadian, I can tell you this is not because Canada has become some super economic power lately, but because the US economy is really tanking under this administration. In fact, I think Canada's economy is as just as pathetic as usual, only this time around, the US managed to be even worst! Sorry this isn't any consolation to our American cousins who are now just as bad as us.</p> Well, today on Oct 19, 2007 the US dollar really is worth less than the Canadian Dollar (1 USD = 0.9667 CAD).

1 CAD = 0.9663 USD

The US Dollar is .35 of a cent from being at the lowest point ever since 1970 when Canada quit fixing its dollar’s value to the US Dollar.

And I don’t think the Chimpenfuhrer sees this as a sign that there’s a problem with the economy.

Its crazy! I mean its bad enough that its hard enough to find someone who can speak to you in French when you go to Oolld Orchard or Florida. Its even worse when you leave Quebec for lets say Toronto and they wont even say Bonjour to you their either.

If 1 USD = 1.03621 CAD, that means you take one US dollar and get one Canadian dollar and three cents. That means the US DOLLAR IS WORTH MORE. Similarly, 1 U.S. dollar = 0.492101767 British pounds.</p> <p>Idiot.</p> Too bad Democrats can’t do math!
