Jodan. Is this your thing? If so, it's just one more example of the Americans usurping things Canadian, in this case, the name of a particular Canadian coin. Typical.

We refer to the coin as a "loonie" generally. Very few call it a "loon". The loon is the aquatic bird depicted on the coin (on the opposite side from the Queen)

You Canadians are all loonies anyway

read your PR thread. I posted the Wright Brothers thing this morning.
(or did I forget to hit the button? or was that last night? or was that another sick fantasy? Or did I just read your entry?)
Key: Complain about this post
