Coke still tastes good...if you buy it in a bottle. It's never tasted good coming out of plastic or tin. Paging Ken... he swears by Coke straight from aluminum cans.

I merely identify coke in cans (which is excellent) as different from Mexican Coke in bottles, which is also excellent. Coke in any other form is generally not that good.

Jeez. A couple of years ago our dollar was the darling of the G7/8 by being at par or more with the US Dollar with the present PM at the helm. Everyone but the manufacturers/exporters in ON & QC was happy. In order to try to keep them afloat, the new Bank of Canada Governor made sure that the Can Dollar would drop to try to increase our exports (sleazy way of doing it IMO). Well, with his speeches & policies, he started the ball rolling downhill & it hasn't stopped. Have our exports dramatically increased to cure our trade imbalances? I think not.
Furthermore, now our Dollar is tanking relative to the US Dollar (incredible to me as it is the most indebted regime on the planet) largely due to world wide crude being at dramatic low prices (OPEC & oversupply).
So now this is the PM's fault as well?? Come on guys...

TAM Conspiracy theories, notwithstanding, there are stories out there with some validity that there are powers in place that wish the U.S. dollar be kept artificially high no matter the circumstances.

The government does have influence on the state of the economy of the country which can affect the dollar, absolutely. Is our dollar value reflected solely by the ideologically driven policies of our present PM? No. Shutting down highly used and respected science libraries in a fascist manner akin to Nazi behaviour however, that is 100% on the idiot.

I thought that we were discussing why the Can Dollar was doing what it is & how it is affecting Canadian Consumers & firms like Axiom.
Now we're talking about libraries & Nazis.
Again, I don't get it...

TAM And once we were talking in a thread about sin wave principles and room correction which ended up in a discussion on peach ripeness from the Philippines. Those damn thread hijacks. It's like stopping Mark Johnson from smiling.

I must admit that I like the taste of Diet Coke/Pepsi & Diet A&W Root Beer better in a chilled glass container. Has to be 'diet' due to my diabetes, but you know, I hardly drink soft drinks anymore. Those new littler bottles are a great idea.
I like these beverages with pizza & hamburgers/hot dogs, but that's about it...
