Is the products in Canada or US cheaper? Someone I know tells me that Canada products are cheaper when buying with US monies. But then usually on greeting cards, it be like
US $4.50 Canada $6.50
It seems more expensive to me. Is the usage of money and US money different in Canada? Sorry, never been to Canada. Barely know anything about it except it's a country above the US. I'm a sucker with Geography! ;D [/size]

I'm a sucker with Geography! ;D [/size][/quote] Things are definitey more expensive in Canada. Our dollar typically runs between 73-76 cents to every one american dollar. Because our dollar is weaker, we don't have the buying power that you do. The minute that Hallmark card crosses the border, the price goes up. Watching the american cable networks, the thing that stands out most is how cheap is for americans to buy vehicles and groceries. Ironically, gas is even cheaper for you, even though I live in oil and gas rich Alberta. But, there are some pretty cool things here. We know how to build shopping malls. I live in Edmonton, Alberta. Home of the world's largest shopping mall: West Edmonton Mall. If you've never been, you should. It'll blow your mind. HaHa ;D

Thanks MommaBear. It sound fun the way you describe it. I would love to check out the mall there and other places as well, but there's one problem. I'm very, very afraid of flying. I flied once, and never do it again. Traveling by car will be a pain, since I'm all the way in the south of the US. Flying just give me the creeps. Worsen the problem, I was by the window of the plane. The wings looked as if it was going to fall in pieces.

Ahh... trains are scary, too. What happens if it fall off the track? My mind always jump into the worst conclusion for traveling. I don't know why.

I'm glad that so many people love this beautiful country that I live in. Alot of people make Canada proud. It's nice that not everyone thinks of us as these people living in igloos with dog sleds and it's always snowing. It's stupid, but you do hear some funny stories.
