The Canadian dollar slipped to its lowest level of the session against the U.S. dollar on Friday as investors feared euro zone austerity measures could hamper a fragile economic recovery.

Oil is taking a kicking the last two weeks too!!

Our snowmobile club may have to buy our drag from Quebec instead of States if the dollar keeps dropping.

Our dollar has to take a loss so we can support the greeks that work a 32hr work week and are able to retire at age 50 at 75% of there wage. Nice system:realmad:

why would you support a Province that wants to separate from the Rest of Canada.

its better then supporting a country that is NOT part of Canada,, either option is not great but its a easy choice

and corect me if I am wrong but its all donated from local snowmobilers right? so then we dump the money in the usa,, thats silly
