Canadian Currency Smells Like Maple Syrup: A Financial Writer Discovers Cultural Differences Between U.S. and Canada

A financial and crypto news writer visited Canada recently and discovered several differences between the U.S. and Canada.

The differences range from driving in kilometers per hour to Canadian currency smelling like maple syrup.

One of the most notable differences is that in Alberta, Canada, the age for driving, gambling, and tobacco is 18 years old, whereas in the U.S., it's 21. The writer also found that the Canadian $100 paper bill has an aroma of maple syrup, which was confirmed by a Canadian instructor.

The writer also noted that in Canada, men's volleyball is considered a major sport, similar to hockey in the U.S. Additionally, gas prices are shown in liters and Canadian dollars, and school class grades use different terminology.
