the bags disappeared about 10 years ago in Vancouver Canada but in Winnipeg in the 90's you could also buy soaps / laundry detergent in a bag to refill your container + there used to be milk so processed that you could store it on the rad in the kitchen and it would NOT go bad (my dad liked worm milk in his tea)

A global corrency does NOT mean the US doller goes away only that there is a currency that can be used / traded between countries / buying commodities.
as things are now a canadien CO shopping in Australia for iron ORE for Example would eather find a bank or broker to convert CDN dollar to US dollar @ bank / broker rate than the Au Co converts there money from US to AU and depending on the US economy changes the rates whereas a world currancy would be worth a fixed rate abd only local economy changes would effect Exchange rates

in canada there are pontiacs Not reconized by the quiz (not in the US?) the wave, persuit, acadian and there are US models I have never heard of Grand Ville, Grand Safari Grand Ville, Grand Safari, Ventura I believe most of them were sold as other names or as GMC cars in canada

the new mercades benz trucks use RADAR with there cruisecontrol and WILL slowdown if the car in front slows down some will even stop them selves!!

here is the same idea from Vancouver Canada 1907 (note the roads are RHD NOT LHD like USA
