Daily Rate Rant from "Uncle Invis" who can be found at Invis's website

To quote Yosemite Sam "Well the varmints went and done it." Specifically the Bank of Canada increased interest rates. And the Canadian dollar immediately went...Down? Apparently after all the fears that increasing interest rates ahead of the US would send our dollar soaring and hurt our exports investors are more worried that the Chinese economy might slow down and reduce our trade surplus. Economists; we can't rely on them, but we aren't allowed to kill them. At least not in most provinces.

It's hard to come up with something funny and relevant after a really cogent economic commentary. Fortunately I've never put myself in that awkward position so here goes:

It may not be great but you can usually get a cheap laugh by insulting lawyers...
