Yes, we also have some plastic jugs - and you're right... they're not great either.

CBC News - Canadian broadband blasted by Harvard study

An excerpt:

Canada "is often thought of as a very high performer, based on the most commonly used benchmark of penetration per 100 inhabitants," the study said. "Because our analysis includes important measures on which Canada has had weaker outcomes — prices, speeds and 3G mobile broadband penetration — in our analysis it shows up as quite a weak performer, overall."

NY Times article from October 14th:

For Canadians looking to escape winter’s premature arrival in many parts of the country by visiting the United States, the equally unexpected movement of the Canadian dollar toward parity with its American counterpart is welcome news. For corporate Canada, however, the development is less inspiring...

With 40 percent of the Canadian economy dependent on trade, mostly with the United States, the prospect of the two currencies being at par for the second time since 2007 probably creates more anxiety than joy in Canada...Since mid-March the Canadian dollar has risen 27 percent, closing on Wednesday at 97.30 cents, up from 76.53 cents.

Anxiety in Canada Over Near Parity with US Dollar

Yes. It's either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on whether you're buying or selling.
