First up - hi Tickler and Sean 416,
When I said 'Canadian WMs weren't affected over the last year', I was referring to most of the year when there were about 2.45-2.50 Mounties per Pound to the greenback's 1.70-175. Now of course the Mounty has got stronger again, and the monopoly money weaker
Sorry to hear that you guys are feeling the pinch too
Secondly - for Useless Warrior,
Europe has already got a lot of embargos on the 'Apple Pie', particularly in aviation [Boing are almost in tears over Airbus], software and hardware technology. Most of the last two are being imported to the US via Europe from developers in UK, Germany and the old Soviet states. They all have heavy tarrifs for the US markets; And all because they put massive duties on stupid stuff like Arron sweaters
Whichever way you look at it, the politicians are a bunch of overpaid kids - on both sides
Let's just keep going and see what tomorrow brings
