 The Value of the Canadian Dollar
As the Canadian dollar declines and the Mexican peso increases in value, there is a date in the future when they will pass each other, like two elevators, the Canadian dollar going down and the Mexican peso going up.
Canadians do not compare the Canadian dollar with other currencies because they are usually in other continents and far away.
And Canadians themselves delude themselves when they think that the value of their property has increased when in reality it has decreased because of the sinking Canadian dollar.

They submitted their report on September 27th of that year and recommended that such an institution be established.
In fact, the entire Parliament debates (1934-1935) on the question, after the Bank of Canada bill was adopted pertain entirely on how much public/private influence and control should be exercised by the Board of Directors and not on the fact that the institution should even exist or not in Canada.
This only goes to show that Parliament was more interested in debating the format of the central bank and not its necessity.

 Canadian Parliament Recognizes Quebec
TORONTO (AP) - Parliament formally recognized the French-speaking people of Quebec as a nation within Canada, a seemingly symbolic gesture that has led to a Cabinet resignation and ignited concerns over a renewed push for the province's sovereignty.
The motion presented by Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Monday, which says the Quebecois form a nation within a united Canada, is largely symbolic in that it requires no constitutional amendment or change of law.
It was devised by Harper to pre-empt a similar attempt by the Bloc Quebecois, the party in Parliament that represents Quebec, whose members also reluctantly backed the resolution once they realized they had been outflanked by Harper.
