Fun fact: If you were a Canadian living in the 1970's, the Canadian dollar (CAD) was worth more than the US dollar (USD) for most of that decade, so it was worth the trip for Canadians to travel across the border to go shopping in US stores to save themselves oodles of money on everyday products.
Another fun fact: Canadians still go across the boarder for deals. Or did, before COVID. My parents would buy groceries because, even counting the price difference, things just plain cost less there. Plus Americans have a lot of things in bulk, so you can get more things for less money. When I lived in America for a while, they had 20 piece McNugget combos for five bucks. That's wild to me. I want that in my life.
Being Canadian sucks.
