Canada

• Very few. Occasional tourist pricing in Niagara Falls area.
• Rental car damage claims — photograph before and after.

• Excellent healthcare for residents. Visitors should have travel insurance — hospital visits are expensive for non-residents.
• Pharmacies (Shoppers Drug Mart) are everywhere.

• Routine vaccines only.

• Visit Banff and the Canadian Rockies — jaw-dropping scenery.
• Experience Montréal for French-Canadian culture, food, and festivals.
• Try poutine, maple syrup on snow, and butter tarts.

• Don't assume all Canadians speak French — only Quebec and parts of New Brunswick are primarily francophone.
• Don't compare Canada unfavorably to the US — Canadians have a distinct identity.
• Don't underestimate winter — dress properly or suffer.

Tip 15-20% at restaurants. $1-2 per drink at bars. 10-15% for taxis. Similar to US tipping culture.

Casual. Canadians are relaxed dressers. Heavy winter gear essential October–April in most of the country.

Christian majority but very multicultural and secular. All faiths represented. Very tolerant society. LGBTQ+ friendly.
