For the first time in 31 years, our loonie has overtaken the American dollar in value. Symbolically speaking, Torontoist feels this does not make any sense. Think about it—our diving aquatic bird versus their cherry tree-chopping George Washington? It must be something in our water, unless there are secret numerological powers inherent in hendecagons and hendecagrams.

We're bigger and we're on top.
