Bugged Canadian Coins?

tundra_man writes "CBC has an article about RFID type devices in Canadian coins found on US Contractors. From the article: 'Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turned up in the pockets of at least three American contractors who visited Canada, says a branch of the U.S. Department of Defense.' The report did not indicate what kinds of coins were involved."

    the Canadian Dollar is close to reaching parity with the US Dollar.

    That statement is exactly the same as saying the Canadian Dollar is valueless. The US Dollar is on its way with reaching parity with zero. :-)

  2. Canadians are super paranoid by andy314159pi · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I've talked to some Canadians and the majority of them are very paranoid about an invasion by the United States. Given our track record, I cannot totally blame them, although I recognize that it's pretty irrational from a political standpoint. I've also heard that Canada has some sort of contingency plan to get the help of the Chinese or Russians if we were to invade.

    It's obvious to you and me that the idea of an American invasion is ridiculous but Canada has their tin-foil intelligence agencies just like we do.

    To those who released this information, I say, show a working example or STFU. How much longer till they start wanting to search us for WMDs?

    The US Government can fuck off.
