Karl was a top pledge collector for one of their charity events. Maybe he's looking for some help to win one of their currently running contests? Inquiring minds want to know. Why, Priscilla . . .why do you want us to write to Karl? > Hi im trying to get in touch with Canadian divers please email me at > karlputter@hotmail.com Canada's a big place. Maybe you should be a little more specific of who you need and why... Bryan > Hi im trying to get in touch with Canadian divers please email me at > karlputter@hotmail.com If you want to narrow it down to, say, a province, you might get a better response. We're the 2nd largest country in the world. We have 243 thousand kilometers of coastline and the world's largest supply of fresh water. There are innumerable fresh and salt water dive sites.

Why would middle-eastern accounts be selling US dollars? The world wants to know. George --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- US dollar falls to 14-year low vs Canadian NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar, under selling pressure across the board, slipped to a fresh 14-year low against the Canadian dollar on Friday. The U.S. dollar traded as low as C$1.1600, according to Reuters data, down 1 percent and below the previous 14-year trough of C$1.1620 plumbed last week. Canadian economic growth data for July released earlier on Friday was largely in line with forecasts and didn't alter expectations that interest rates will rise in October. Middle East accounts were noted sellers, said one trader in New York, and sell stops below C$1.1620 were triggered too. The Canadian dollar has been the best performing major currency against the otherwise resilient greenback this year. > Why would middle-eastern accounts be selling US dollars? The world > wants to know. I don't claim to know much aboot these things but, currency values change mucho because of the currency markets. ie, people buy and sell currency based on confidence, and I'm sure, many other factors. But you knew that! LD. > > Why would middle-eastern accounts be selling US dollars? The world > > wants to know. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > LD.

You must've caught earlier when I said I heard it was a 'massive' untapped resource. I love Ab. fer a lot of reasons, I'd love to be a res if they tap those reserves. They'll end up subsidising the frickin' frogs out east more than they will ever deserve. But what's new there? LD. LD. >>>>Why would middle-eastern accounts be selling US dollars?

Thanks George, I think I will.

I guess I'll just hang on to those loonies, twonies and twentoonies I had left over from my last trip up... maybe they'll buy enough US$ for a trip to cave country in 2 weeks. > > If the current trend continues, I give it about three months before all > > y'all are paying us a premium to buy Canadian dollars.
