Those evil Canadians spying on our defense contractors by putting microphones in coins.

This story makes no sense. What if they spend the coins?

This is a repeat of a story that happened during the cold war, and it made no sense then either.

I think the idea is to make people think the world is spying on the poor little US of A. Like… Continue reading
