Well, Doug, the request for Americans to mention things they have that Canada doesn't may not get much response if indeed most Americans aren't familiar enough with Canada to know what's lacking there (G). But I'll try, anyway (this relates to Rick's mention of food). On our honeymoon (15 years ago) my wife and I looped the north shore of Lake Superior, camping in provincial parks (gorgeous). [Side note--we loved the pictorial "moose crossing" signs--hey! I'll bet you don't have "armadillo crossing signs!] We notice many restaurant signs seemed to very proudly and prominently advertise salad bars. Now, in the U.S., a typical salad bar has dozens of individual ingredients for making salad, generally of the "tossed" or "garden" type--lettuce, radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, croutons, bacon bits, hard-boiled egg slices, etc. You build your own salad just the way you want it. We were rather taken aback to find that at these Canadian restaurants, the salad bars had 5 or 6 different prepared salads, such as potato salad, three-bean salad, etc. Naturally our (typically American) thoughts were, "Don't these folks know what 'salad bar' means?", a rhetorical question since they obviously didn't. It was an interesting comparison. It was also a great trip, and yes the beer was better.
