boarding process. A few days ago I even watched this on an
E75 at Logan
Airport, which I have reason to believe is not actually in Canada. This video depicts makers of Oka, and describes them as knowing how to make cheese "like the back of their hand..." etc.
But in Quebec, it's "il connait ca comme le creux de sa main". ... aka "knowing it like the palm of your hand". (creux is depth, bottom, etc).
In English, the idiom refers to geographical knowledge only, not to technical skills. Is it not the same in French?

Bien sūr! I buy my Oka at Sobey's with my CIBC Aerogold Infinite card, and earn big time. Of course, YMMV.
