The poor woman actually thinks she will save money.
Somehow.
Because she wants it to be true.
LOL. By sheer force of will, she will save money, somehow.
What do you want to bet she isn't interviewed after her trip?
Gotta love the media.

My sister told me she saved $30 yesterday. She had to spend close to a $100 to do so, though.

She might save a bit since prices tend to be lower here goods for goods. In any event, those of us who grew up with Quebecois tourists (especially the girls!) making our summers for us, are real happy to see them back.

You gotta spend to save, Bro.
The more you spend, the more you save!

I saved a peck of money today. I thought about going for a drive but decided to stay home and sit on my fat arse instead.

The important thing was that she spent her money in the USA.

Being an Ontario woman, I have no direct experience with Quebec girls, but I’m glad they make you happy.

Part of why I don’t think a weak dollar is all or mostly bad. US exports are way up and Canadians are coming here in droves to shop. The 3.9% GNP read of the 3rd quarter is largely due to US exports being so inexpensive and in greater demand due to the US dollar. The US media just wants to make it out to be “yet another Bush disaster.” It’s not. It’s probably something of a saving grace for the economy right now despite the credit crunch.

The only loss we’ve had this year was on Thursday, when Emery played.
I don’t know much about hockey, but I know I don’t like Emery.

I live in Duluth Mn. Went to Target today. Every other car had Ontario plates. And we’re 2-3 hours from the border.

Quebecois girls are pretty cute, if you like that dark-haired, Neve Campbell-ish look.

With the Canadian dollar at an all time high against the American dollar I expect an inordinate amount of them to vacation here in Florida this winter.
Great, My day is ruined just thinking about that.
I bet they still are poor tippers and cheap.

Wait a second: foreigners are coming across the border at the checkpoints, spending their money here and then going home? I thought all three were impossible. How can I have a good illegal immigration rant with all these legal tourists around. :-).
Just wait until the Canadians check out how far their loonies will go at nice, quick, efficient American hospitals. Better get your surgeries quickly before Hillary ruins it for everyone.
