Back in the 1970s I made the mistake of sojourning through the Windsor tunnel in Detroit to experience a little Canada scenery before arriving to my destination in Rutland, VT. What a mistake that was. Needing gas, I pulled into some gas station north of the Eerie and quickly found out my American dollars were discriminated against. That asshole made-up his own exchange rate saying to me that, "Canadians think their dollar is worth more". Being a fair minded person and recognizing my underestimation of my 'international' sight-seeing adventure, I asked, "How much more?" He said "3-to-1". I responded by saying, "So, US dollars aren't worth that much." That seemed to really piss him off and he retorted. "The Canadian dollar is 3-to-1." I knew this was bullshit and not very friendly, but had to accept it or run into F*n Canuck trouble. Despite long loving the people there, supporting their freedom....and having met some great Canucks, there are way too many asshole Canadians. I think most of them reside around Ottawa.
