I don't know much about international monetary policy.Is there a risk of further ongoing problems with their economy causing problems in terms of becoming canada's problems?
As far as I can imagine, they would pick a date where their currency(the krona?) becomes pegged in value to the canadian dollar, the population exchanges their krona for the cdn dollar and life carries on. The krona ceases to exist.
I see a bunch of upsides for iceland in that, minus losing a pretty big part of their sovereignty in terms of national monetary policy. They get to have a stable currency in operation taking some pressure off their problems.
The part that I don't quite get is what benefits there are for us? Obviously good to have more of your money in circulation, but I can't see how we'd be immune to their economy going from "shit" to "worse than shit" which is a definite possibility. They'd now be doing that in our money instead of theirs.
never had the head before.....always freaked me out

If anyone has watched Phelm 123 with Travolta, you know that Iceland is famous for ASS models.

Pure economic benefit.
Bank - Big 5 canadian banks now have more ppl to serve
Exports/Imports - Iceland is known for aluminum and fish industries. Canadian biz could soon have access to quality seafood without exchange risk
Reserves - Iceland + Canada control well over 50% of the arctic and the oil that is there. HUGE potential for O&G companies in AB.

After the hard fought battle that iceland fought to kick the bankers out of their system, I find it impossible to believe they would so blindly sign onto another fiat currency.
