Yes. We Canadians refer to that as the "American Fly on the windshield Syndrome" (AFWS) We usually just ignore it until it gets hard to see clearly past the southern borders. Then we send out the window washers. It's another make work project.

Something most people don't know is that 50% of the snow in Canada is created artificially by snowmaking machines at ski resorts and hiking areas by using discarded butter fat that is mixed with styrofoam. We used to ship the real stuff over from Russia, but it got way too expensive, so we make it ourselves now, eh?
