I don't live in the USA !
There is no such thing in conservative Canada for single, childrenless people to collect welfare !
We don't even have a food stamp program here, for ANYBODY !
And healthcare for everyone, well, almost every country on the planet has it.

The whole idea is that they can drink & do drugs all they want.....just not on my dime!!! My dime will now go to people who need it for feeding their family. Hopefully all "57" states will start a program like this.

Oooopsss, minimum wage is jumping here to $9.40 as of September 1st.
This fall marks the first time minimum wage has been increased in Alberta since April 2009.
Alberta minimum wage jumps to $9.40
Albertans making minimum wage will see an increase this fall, as it will rise from $8.80 per hour to $9.40 per hour on Sept. 1.
Alberta will still be only third last on the minimum wage scale in Canada.

He didn't ask how much 9.40 canadian dollars are worth in american currency, but i guess you can't miss a chance to blow your trumpet over the fact that the canadian dollar is worth more than the american dollar.
How many of these canadian dollars have you earned with your hot dog cart?
If you are still open to a name , how about "Kleiner's weiners" ?

Yes , I remember that. You were sticking your unsolicited comments into a discussion about a cruise that was already pretty much settled upon by the actual participants in the cruise.
Wow, look at your post count, you're coming up on 5,000 posts. You will probably hit that milestone before the end of the week.
What it is going to consist of ? I bet you are going to tell us about a bargain you can get and you will somehow work in the fact that because you pay in canadian dollars, it comes out cheaper. Maybe you will also work in your anti nuclear, anti guns , anti america views into that post as well. Don't forget to mention how the Germans have that special something that makes them great.
Also, please mention all the jobs that you had that made you into the man that you are today and please also let us know about your great medical insurance.
K!

LOONIE !
The Canadian 1 dollar coin (commonly called Loonie) is a gold-coloured, bronze-plated, one-dollar coin introduced in 1987. It bears images of a common loon, a bird which is common and well-known in Canada, on the reverse, and of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
The design for the coin was meant to be a voyageur theme, similar to the country's previous one dollar/silver dollar coin, but the master dies were lost by the courier service while in transit to the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. In order to avoid possible counterfeiting, a different design was used.
The coin has become the symbol of the Canadian dollar; media often discuss the rate at which the loonie is trading against other currencies. The nickname loonie (huard in French) became so widely recognized that on March 15, 2006 the Royal Canadian Mint secured the rights to the name "Loonie".[SUP][2][/SUP] The name is so ubiquitous that, when it was introduced in 1996, the Canadian 2 dollar coin was nicknamed the "Toonie" (a portmanteau of "two" and "loonie").
The coin—an 11-sided curve of constant width—is made of Aureate, a bronze-electroplated nickel combination. In order to maintain a constant width of 26.5 mm the "sides" of the coin are not exactly straight, but curved in the same manner as the 7-sided British twenty pence and fifty pence coins (the latter is comparable in size and value to the loonie). Its size was (and remains) nearly identical to that of the then-circulating Susan B. Anthony dollar and its successors in the United States. The total composition of the coin is 91.5% nickel and 8.5% bronze. The bronze is about 88% copper and 12% tin.
