Just to clarify about the so called Canadian banks you
mention. The Scotia Bank and RBC are not the same as our Canadian banks. There is a Canadian interest in them, but they do not do business like our banks in Canada. In fact, their rules and regulations are very different. I was sorry to learn that as I too thought they would be similar.

We have such a great banking system in Canada that we are spoiled when visiting other countries.

I guess when visiting Pineapple Pete's, Canadian cash can be used to pay the bill at a better exchange rate which will be appreciated by many Canadian diners.
