    OT: $CAD is UP!
    Canadian Dollar up to $0.98 US today, predictions by the "experts" that the Canadian Dollar will surpass the US Dollar this week.

    Wow! I remember when $1 CAD was worth $0.62 USD, my how times have changed.

    Good news for Canadians spending $$ outside the country.

      I remember when the $CAD was low, even US experts were saying how it should NEVER go below $0.75 USD.

      Really no surprise that our dollar is rising, our gov't is flush with cash, debt is down, lots of worldwide demand for Canadian natural resources and exports, big oil reserves in Alberta providing lots of $$$, and our economy is outperforming the US. Life in Canada is very good, no need for the US to build that big 'ol fence along the northern border, no one here is in any hurry to leave.

        It's costing me a fortune. All my US$ poker money and sportsbook money is worth less to me. Not to mention my US stocks. It's crap I say. Let me get my 60Cent dollar back and bail out ...... then it can rise so I can rebuy.

            Yes, we Canadians are well aware of how much Canada sucks, we are targets around the world, apparently Canadian flags are being burned and our Prime minister is being burned in effigy, not to mention Canadians being victims of terrorism around the world, oh yeah our passport is garbage too. LOL!!

                    You do a disservice to smart Americans by making such ignorant comments.
                    How do you explain the Canadian dollar surpassing the US dollar in value? Please enlighten us with your superior American knowledge.

                    Back to the trailer park bubba.

                            Maybe if our dollar continues to spike, we can convince America to sell us whatever patch of land Picoman lives on...Then Nuke it.

                            Just get 'em to throw in the warhead as part of the deal.

                                        Do you really hate Canada Dicoman?

                                        Maybe it's not canada you hate, but yourself,after that disasterous weekend of football you had.

                                        Maybe your just so mad at yourself for blowing your entire bankroll on the bengals and friends, that its just easier to blame a whole country.

                                        3 days ago you were whinning like a little biatch how you have to take a break from betting nfl,(lol)after week 2.

                                        You remember your post were you were in search of some sympathy and a friend, a few gave you some friendly advice,on how to handle this bad run you are on, look back one of them may be canadian.

                                        Anyways, do Canadians a favor post the teams you like, so we can make some stew betting the opposite.

                                          what does bengals has anything to do with canada?

                                          i like toronto blue jays...think they'll sweep the red soxs. and i am going to bet everything on either the calgary flames, or the canucks to win the stanley cup. not really follow the wwc, but i'll put a shit load on the canadian team, think they're great.
