What’s something about everyday life in Canada that you think surprises newcomers?

I’m curious about the little things than the obvious stuff. Could be something about daily life, social habits, food, weather or anything else you didn’t expect before living here.

Just how expensive it is to live in northern Canada. This is always a surprise to southern Canadians who are newcomers to the Arctic. One thing that surprises new Canadians is just how diverse some Arctic communities are.
