"Canadian Peso's" is a slang term Canadian's use for the Canadian Dollar's value against the USD.

And to weed out embellished, bs stories such as this one. “Canadian pesos” gave me a good laugh though.

You couldn’t figure that out on your own?

Why are you here Riccardo? The mindshare on this forum know you made this up. It’s BS.

"Canadian pesos"?

Did Todd make a jump over the border?

I've never heard it used, but there were a lot of things in that tale I'd never heard of. Well, maybe in cartoons?

Funny you say that, PackRat. Back when I was LAST in Canada for an 'extended stay' (circa 1998) ... the US people called the Canadian money "Loonies" .... LoL!

I'm with Don, though. Tom's heard the CD/USD conversion 'Pesos' too, when he drove cross border. I'm from NY/FL .... so we talk 'Pesos' in FL often, haha!

I relate with the O/P as I've stated before; have done MANY Chinese Fire Drills, just not in a T/T . . . A hot swap with the stick is scary, at best...but I've gotta admit, I've done that a time or 10 at 18 y/o in my PV... dumarske I was, LoL! Timing. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Best, all!

Hope the new training works out, Riccardo !! (If not, come stateside, or APPLY WITH BISON!!! :) )
