Ferret Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Ten dollars more = approximately 150 pesos. And the one dollar coin is named after the bird on it so both your guesses are wrong lakeside7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I miss the Canadian toonie. I can't even remember how to spell it. How do you spell the Tunie or Tunny? The Loonie and the twoonie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Nope only got ten dollars more on the O.A.S. Perhaps it depends on your age since I'm only 70. Pete... toonie. "Although the $2 coin features a picture of a polar bear, by artist Brent Townsend, Canadians quickly began calling the coin the "toonie," a portmanteau of the words two and loonie. The Royal Canadian Mint also trademarked the term "toonie" in 2006." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1 Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 WOW! a whole 2.8% more...What will I do with this windfall? FYI: Canada's annual inflation rate hit 8.1% in June, up from 7.7% in May, driven by higher costs at the gas pump and almost everywhere else, Statistics Canada said, but short of forecasts it would accelerate to 8.4%.Jul 20, 2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I couldn't afford to live in Canada any more even before inflation. My avocado habit alone prevents it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted July 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 I should have said if you're over 75 you get a 10% increase permanently and of course you get the annual cost of living increase if any. I got a letter from the gummint about this and then checked my bank account and sure enough 10% more. yippee! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
