They always need to keep their receipts for customs - if it's one thing I remember about dealing with travelers, it's that.

The exchange rate used to about the same, but our dollar's dropped down to $0.86 now. Winnipeg is honestly one of my least favourite cities on earth. Besides being the most bland city in Canada, it's one of the roughest. Then again, I dislike the Prairies in general, so I'm biased.
