Borden's government, Sept or Oct 1914 ... 'Finance Act of 1914' i believe it was called, object being to crank out fiat to pay for the war, the legislation had already been considered and nearly completely draughted that spring ... then there was a version of the gold standard for the period of 1926['25?]-1931, abandoned at that point .... canadian dollar instituted 1870, country officially on gold standard since 1850/51 or so, unofficially before that of course through the use of sterling

[edit] - Dave, you belie your nick, that's not 'us' -g-
