Interesting. Chestermere isn't Calgary (technically) so there's 2 (one of them is in a dead spot so might as well be non-existent lol).

Is Mary Brown's chicken a Canadian restaurant?

Here in Chicago we have a Canadian pub (not sure if it's marketed as "Canadian" per se, but they have poutine, some Canadian beers, Bloody Caesars and other random Canadian fare at random times). The owner is (I think) Irish, and the owner's wife is from Alberta. They show Canadian football and hockey on their TV screens, too.

We used to have a poutinerie in Wrigleyville but that closed up. Nonetheless, you can still get poutine in the city if you know where to go, and even in the surburbs, there is poutine to be found (that's a recent phenomena in the suburbs, though).

There is a bonafide Triple O's in Yiwu, China.

Blew my mind that in this less than tier 3 Chinese hick town town, there was a bit of Canadiana.

There's also The Moose on rue des quatres vents in the 6th, they have poutine. I think they also have a 4th tier attempt at a montreal smoked meat sandwich.

In Hong Kong, they have a pub called 'The Keg'.

Also serves Molson Canadian. That's as Canadian as it'll get.

London has the Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden. They definitely do some Canadian beer, but I can't remember anything Canadian on the menu. I almost never go in, as it's a pretty horrible place.

I was on a cruise ship last week. At one bar I ordered a Molson Canadian since he was out of Sam Adams and there was no other beer worth drinking. The bartender asked me if I was Canadian and I said no, why? He told me no one orders one unless they are. For the rest of the cruise he would call me his Canadian friend.

Must've been a dry ship if Molson Canadian was the most palatable out of what's left.

I'd say Beavertails are an Ottawa dish, although the rest of Canada has been slowly stealing away what used to be uniquely Ottawan.

For any visitors, the local favourite is a Killaloe Sunrise, which is sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice on a deep-fried pastry. Absolutely delicious, and best enjoyed after a good skate on the Canal, enjoyed with a lousy hot chocolate.

I think they changed the formula since I last drank one in the early 80's.

No craft beers on the ship. I also had a Dos Equis which I would normally only order with a plate of Mexican food.

I try to avoid this kind of Canadian restaurant but they seem to have a loyal following.
