Take a couple minutes to watch a quality montage...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=-CKKYiKsVWY

CBC......since I was a wee boy, Saturday night on CBC meant hockey night in Canada!

They are passing the baton!
I can't say I'll miss 'em because they would cut away for the news sometimes when the games ran too long.

I will miss Don Cherry!!...love watching that guy!

Thanks you CBC

there IS talk of a three and a five dollar coin....i gonna call it the phooey.

pennies are dead here now. retailers dealing in cash round off to the nearest nickel.
pennies still count on paper, but the coins are worth more as scrap!!

Super duper re-enforced pockets are necessary in Canada. Such a wad of coins already.
Used to be I'd have like .85 cents up to a couple bucks () in pocket all the time. Nowadays, its easy to accumulate up to twenty bucks and more in coins in no time. Sure doesn't 'feel' like pocket change to me!....but it is what it is.

our "paper" currency is see through plastic now. getting used to it....impossible to rip! also very hard to duplicate.
