In this case paper means polymer. Canada uses the same bills as Australia (and that the U.K. is switching to).

Much better than in the USA, where their cloth money always feels like dirty laundry.

How am I supposed to light my cigar with a burning $100 when it's plastic?

I thought the same thing when Canada made the switch, but soon found out that while tracking down a hold paper $100 is a bit frustrating at times the added opulence from destroying something that will never be replaced brings my cigar experience to the next level.
