Actually almost all small businesses accept Discover and Diners in Canada as it's bundled with Visa and MasterCard (as well with Amex most of the times these days). Its some large businesses that can be problematic for Discover in Canada but a lot of large businesses also use termonals straight from the acquirer so it's not a huge issue.
Discover Acceptance is rarely advertised though .
