Food, shopping & people
Eating & drinking in Canada
Canadian wine is a find. BC’s Okanagan Valley, Ontario and Nova Scotia give good grapes.With an interior full of grains, the craft distillery trend is going crazy. The spirit is definitely willing in Canada.
Bison and elk are big on locally sourced menus. Don’t think they are too gamey; they are burger bliss.
Originating in Quebec, ‘poutine’ is chips, topped with gravy and cheese curd. It’s like Marmite. Love it or hate it.
Nanaimo bar is a sugary dessert with crumbly base, custard icing and melted chocolate on top.

People & language
Gifts & shopping
Visit an Aboriginal artist, such as a potter or a wood carver.In particular, seek out a genuine Inukshuk, an Aboriginal stone carving of a man, designed originally to guide people across the tundra. Now a nationwide symbol of friendship.
Canadian wine is superb, and beats the proverbial maple syrup as a gift.
Smoked wild salmon travels well, often sold in handmade cedar gift boxes.
Five reasons why Canada is SO not like the USA
- It has near universal healthcare.
- It was one of the first countries in the world to legalise gay marriage nationwide.
- Gun crime is minimal, with no law guaranteeing the right to bear arms.
- 90 percent of the population lives within 200km of the US border. You can drive for what seems like forever without meeting anyone.
- USA has desert. Canada has tundra.
