I will add that card cloning is common enough in Canada that one should take precautions, particularly if just using the magnetic strip instead of tapping or chip/code. Don't hand your card to anyone to allow them to swipe either, no matter how nicely they offer. If you are not from Canada an

As a Quebecer, I think it's my duty to say that good Poutine *is *good. There are plenty of bad poutine (like any other food) in Montreal but definitely something to try for anyone here for NANOG. For a portuguese style poutine : http://mapoulemouillee.ca/ And for something a bit more mass-market

I’m a Minnesotan, the land of Powder Milk Biscuits, and thus an honorary Canadian. I can attest that poutine is indeed wonderful, and I would say essential to withstand the viciously cold northern winters. It originated in Quebec, and is still very popular there, and also throughout Canada. I
