#1 It should be noted that lots of Canadians go to Buffalo. Clothing is much cheaper than in Toronto, for instance, if somewhat less fashionable, and my Canadian friends know the malls I used to shop in better than I do. Also, last I heard, Canadians could buy beer in Buffalo bars at par using Canadian money -- at least a 25% discount, with real Buffalo chicken wings to soak up some of the alcohol. Buffalo's way of thanking Canada for sheltering our people in Iran in 1979.

#2 Not so much of a discount when lower alcohol levels are figured. Those sneaky Yankee capitalists.

#3 At 25 to 30 cents on the dollar, a trip to Buffalo might be worth it. Right now, the exchange is around 10 cents.

#4 Thanks, john. I'm not very good at remembering things involving money. That was the exchange rate in 1980 or so, I think.
