On another note, I think we, as Canadians, should make more of an effort to call our currency by the names of the individuals represented thereon. For example, instead of saying "a five-dollar bill", we could say "a<strong> Wilfred Laurier</strong>", and instead of "a ten-dollar bill", we could say "a <strong>John A. MacDonald</strong>" or even a "<strong>John A</strong>" for short. Here's an example as it how this new terminology would be used in every day conversation: <em>Shopkeeper: Very well, my good man, the total comes to $22.50. Satisfied Customer: Thank you, kind sir. Would you have change for a <strong>William Lyon MacKenzie King</strong>? (editor's note: a $50 bill).</em> Thanks Craig, but your offer is insufficient to make me add such an anachronism to the strip.
