It's just more that Canada doesn't really matter in the big picture. They're just kinda there for better or worse.

Or that Canada technically didn't become an independent country until it had it's own flag, and that we're the only country to have gained out independence from England by asking for it.

Not every country has the ability to gain independence through butt-kicking.

Nah, we just got them all really drunk first.
We won our freedom through a beer chugging contest!
And mostly so we could forget the ugly visage of the Queen.

Obama money is much like Obama, for novelty purposes only. Does not have any real value.

intrinsically speaking, copper holds more value than gold. although it's value is in practical use rather than novelty trinkets rather than monetary value.
Gold's value is superfluous at best, and is only worth what the market dictates it to be, or as a means for religious divinity, more so than it's perceived rarity.

Gold holds value.
People assign value to gold.*
While there's little practical difference, it is a difference worth noting.

Welcome to a market economy where goods and services are priced based on the value people assign to them and are willing to pay. Where things like rarity, scarcity, and energy to obtain said goods factor into the price.

No. I think placing value on arbitrary items is absolutely stupid. Also, subject to market manipulation because rarity/scarcity has jack ***to do with it. (edit: talking specifically about non-practical items here, not tools/other functional goods/services.)
You, of all people I suspect, understand this. Look at diamonds.
They really weren't all that valuable until *** who run the diamond trade managed to manipulate the entire thing, create their own market for demand through intense advertising and social pressuring. Basically they brainwashed an entire culture into believing their shiny rocks are worth way more than they should be, and that you should feel like inhuman scum if you don't spend ungodly amounts of money on them.
All the while they convince you that manufactured diamonds are somehow "inferior" to those dug out of the ground by slave labor.
Frankly I think these people should be brutally castrated.
