A humiliating example of canadian political bungling for the past 25 years has been the yearly decline in the value of the canadian dollar. The canadian dollar has lost one or two cents each year compared to the United States of America dollar. Today, $100 canadian = $73 United States of America. Thirty years ago when canadians were all proud, $100 C was = $110 United States of America. Therefore the canadian dollar has dropped about half its value in that time. Because the slide has been gradual -- one or two cents a year -- there has been zero political backlash. This has signaled the tax-and-spend Liberals that they should increase their taxing and spending. They have disregarded the constant decline of the canadian dollar, the $600 billion national debt, the brain drain to the United States of America, HRDC and CIDA giveaways of billions of taxpayers dollars to friends and socialist causes. The Liberals are totally committed to their international socialist politically correct agendas.

The canadian dollar slid almost a full United States of America cent yesterday to its lowest level in a month as investor optimism about a United States of America economic rebound added strength to the United States of America currency, while weakening others. At yesterday's close, the canadian dollar was worth United States of America S73.29¢ down from United States of America S74.22¢. The canadian dollar fell as far as United States of America S72.92¢ during the session.
