I guess I'll just hang on to those loonies, twonies and twentoonies I
had left over from my last trip up... maybe they'll buy enough US$ for
a trip to cave country in 2 weeks.

I don't claim to know much aboot these things but, currency values change

You must've caught earlier when I said I heard it was a 'massive' untapped
resource. I love Ab. fer a lot of reasons, I'd love to be a res if they tap

They'll end up subsidising the frickin' frogs out east more than they will
ever deserve. But what's new there?
