That's probably partially true.

No, but really what I am getting at is something like 90% of Canucks live on the US border or within 100 miles of it, correct? So we have grown up (I know I did on the Island) with accepting US currency. However go to Lincoln Nebraska. I sincerely doubt they accept ANY random currency for 1 major reason: They DON'T HAVE TO. Their economy doesn't rely on Australian dollars, so why should they train their employees to take them when it MAY happen once in 15 years?

CDNs have a HUGE amount of tourists from the US that come to the cities. Americans are ignorant, hence assume anywhere they go will accept USD. Canadians being complacent agreeable dipshits instituted policies YEARS ago to accept USD because hey... why not? It's important to their business.

Maybe what it boils down to in the end is ignorance.

Speaking of which Elli, why do you support ch1ld p0rn? Just curious why you and AFF are totally fine with advertising on sites with ch1ld on it. Thanks.
