Wrong again Chosun Ilbo!

In today's online Chosun Ilbo, an article entitled "Strong Exports Fuel Continued Climb of Aussie, Canadian Dollars" states:

"In the early 2000s, one U.S. dollar was worth 1.40 Canadian. The greenback had trumped the Canadian dollar for more than a century, since the American Civil War in 1864."

This is simply not true, and where the Chosun Ilbo got this "fun fact" is telling of the kind of 'hard work' their journalists do. I mean seriously kids, learn to use the wikipedia and google news to at least steal correct information!

"The Canadian dollar's latest rise reignited chatter of the currency reaching parity with the greenback, a level it has not been at since November 1976." - Seattle Times.

I could post far more quotes like this...but then i'd have done more work than englishnews @ chosun.com.

I'd upload the image comparing CAD/USD if blogger was functional, but its not, so go here.
