True: here in Canada, the McDouble costs, I think, $2.19? Our exchange rate to the US has never been that bad.

(If you're wondering why, since Canada would be the easiest market to ship that same cheap US beef to—AFAIK US beef doesn't meet Canadian agricultural regulations.)

They're costing $0.99-1.49 in the states depending on location (and usually more than $0.99.) They're $1.69 in Canada (Bacon McDouble is closer to $2.19) as of last year.
