I was away for a bit. I went to "Beautiful B.C.". That's what all the car plates say there and I have to agree. Spent majority of time away on Vancouver Island. A wild and relatively untouched place. Anyway I come back to the world of business news to find the C-buck at parity with the greenback. Mainly down to Bernanke's aggressive cut in rates. Of course oil bubbling along near 80 bucks a barrrel doesn't hurt either. Quite a story for Canadians and the economy. When I first came here almost 10 years ago there were calls for Canada to ditch the loonie altogether and adopt the American buck as their currency.
If Canada was a cat it should be of the cheshier variety. In reality Canadians are a notoriously humble bunch so they're not likey to rub it in anybody's face. But well done at any rate Canada.
