I went on a 7 hour long train trip in Canada once.It was called The snow Train.It snowed 3 inches during the trip.It was weird to see folks sweeping snow off the roof of their house.One fella told me that by the end of winter the snow was so deep in his yard that he couldn't see out of his windows.
The low loonie has put a stop to my TAD in a hurry. I've got a few pounds on hand so it will see me through for some time. I'm eyeing up cheaper bulk blends for future orders.

@mso489 The Frau and I have been talking about this for a long time and I found this new sleeper that Canada Rail provides,see link. http://www.viarail.ca/en/explore-our-destinations/trains/rockies-and-pacific/toronto-vancouver-canadian/classes-and-trains-cars#prestige
Maybe it isn't new but I had never heard of it before.

We're in for some lean times I'm afraid. Prime Minister Zoolander is busy committing money all over the world and doing nothing here. I'm glad I've got enough cellared to get by for a while, PAD & TAD will have to be ignored I guess.
Yeah, the Bush bank bailout still rankles me. Not that I think there was any other choice by that time, anyway....
I agree with some others here, I was just starting to ramp up a bad case of TAD when the dollar decided to take its nosedive. Cooled the jets on purchases pretty quick but I reason that even with the horrible exchange rate we're STILL better off to purchase from the online site sponsors here.
Looking forward to seeing more of our American brethren visit Canada...we'll keep the smoking lamp lit. (Can I put a plug in for New Brunswick tourism here? *wink, wink*)
Davet - That picture of Trudeau on the old dollar bill is a chuckle. I haven't seen one of those in a very long time, almost didn't recognize it.

I am just glad I finished my cellar when the dollar was essentially at par. I figure I have made about a 30% return on the foreign exchange even if I sell my stash for the amount I paid for it. As oil goes, so goes the Canadian dollar.
