Mexican food isn't as common in Canada as it is in the States because we don't have that Mexican influence south of us.

How strong is the anti-toronto sentiment in Edmonton? Did any of that change after the economic collapse surrounding the oil industry? How was trudeau's election received in alberta, given it remained conservative?

I'm a fellow Edmontonian and I can chip in. Toronto hate isn't as strong unless you are an incredibly obnoxious Leafs fan because we have so many people from Toronto here who came for work. It hasn't changed much since the economic collapse because they stayed here because the situation isn't much better back home.

Trudeau's election here is a mix because we elected two Liberal MPs in this city so you'll find people that like him just fine and others that dislike him. Calgary and especially small-town Alberta think he's the spawn of Satan.

The conditions on the reserves is why a lot of international organizations ding us a couple of spots when it comes to HDI. Literal third world conditions, no clean water, black mold on the walls, no police unless someone dies and open gang warfare over the open drug market.

Tell me about Canadian auto insurance rates. I've heard its real expensive compared to the US.

My comparison is paying $2000 US for full insurance in Seattle, on a Prius and a Highlander with two adults with no tickets or accidents.

Clean record, driving on my Class 5 (Alberta) for 16 years now with only 2 speeding tickets in that time and my insurance with Intact is $130/month.

Is Poutine a Québecois dish or Canadian?

It’s from Quebec but apparently a memo went out like ten years ago that it is a mandatory Canadian dish and every food place must serve it in this nation. So you get wildly differing quality with KFC poutine being my guilty pleasure.
