More about Canada

I've lived here for six months now, so some of the things that were different before are starting to seem more normal. But I still notice some things:
1. No mail service on Saturdays
2. You can't buy alcohol at grocery stores. You have to go to special liquor stores (at least in Ontario) and are expected to return empty wine, beer, whatever bottles for a deposit.
3. On the same note, there are so many micro-breweries around here that they actually have so many different kinds of local beer. Really quite cool.
4. Fruits and vegetables are about the only things that are cheaper in Canada.
5. Canadians have an identity crisis. There are so many immigrants, each identifying with their originating country/culture. Those who have been here for many generations feel bitter towards the US but also know that a large part of their culture and identity come from their neighbor to the south. Other than hockey and drinking beer, I don't really know what makes Canada different. The monarchy maybe? French?
6. Clothing stores in Toronto offer more hip, European-influence clothing than in Chicago or wherever else I've gone clothes shopping in the US.
7. Everyone knows how to ski and does so year round.
That's all I can think of now...
