That was during minority government.
Thanks to Trudeau our Canadian dollar is a weak as fuck,
Accounting for approximately 2% of all global reserves, as of January 2024 the Canadian dollar is the seventh-most held reserve currency in the world, behind the U.S. dollar, euro, yen, sterling, renminbi, and Australian dollar.[5] The Canadian dollar is popular with central banks because of Canada’s relative economic soundness, the Canadian government’s strong sovereign position, and the stability of the country’s legal and political systems.[6][7][8][9][10]

“I never tried them, but I hear they taste real good.”
Does that include your Wal-Mart stores? because that would be great. 🙂
I live here in Toronto.
When I go to a store, I pay with cash.
I pay with Canadian money, because I’m a Canadian who buys from stores in Canada.
That was easy to do in Ontario Wal-Mart stores.
But then they put up self-check-outs that only accepted credit and debit cards—maybe because they’re in cahoots with the banks and the NSA/wp:CSEC.
Then I had to use a cashier.
So I went to Wal-Mart fewer times as I didn’t like to wait (as well as the increased prices during and after Covid-19).
Now they have a person at the self-checkout who will scan my stuff and accept my cash.
It seems that Wal-Mart adapted—somewhat—to people like me: people who pay with cash.
Still, I do more purchases at Food Basics and Dollarama because their self-check-outs accept cash, including pockets full of loose change that I purposely carry when I go there.
Gee, if only if they could have, say, containers of substances that could hold an electrical charge: perhaps—if you will—a “battery” of such containers.
