What voltage in Canada?

[SAS21]

What voltage is used in Canada? Wondering if my hairdryer will work, spending 3 nights in Vancouver post cruise.

 

Thanks!

Same as the US.

We're pretty much the same as you folks down in the good 'ol USA.

 

There are some exceptions...

 

 

Enjoy! :)

Most hotels supply a hairdryer so you could save the space in your luggage

Although we're obviously superior to our southern neighbours in every way;) - the weak beer argument is a fallacy. Traditionally in the US alcohol was measured by weight not volume (ABW vs ABV on labels) and there's a just under 25% differential between the two.

 

At the alcohol content levels of most mainstream US & Canadian beers (4-5% ABV Canadian, 3-4% ABW US) they look significantly weaker, but are actually the same strength - and frankly the mass-produced macro-brews are all equally lacking in flavour IMO.

 

Craft beers tend to use ABV in both countries - and average well into the 5-6% ABV bracket, 6%+ for IPAs. So relatively speaking if you like any of the mainstream brews in *either* country you're drinking weak, 'girly' beer!

Darn you beat me to it...

I do love me some Disney. We average a trip every couple of years since we moved to Canada - despite no kids! Some excellent restos too - and the beer selection is improving, though still far short of the quality of their wine list.

 

They're actually filming the latest Disney movie up here right now - some scenes at the space centre just this week masquerading as Tomorrowland.

We are looking forward to coming up to Vancouver for our next cruise in two weeks. This time we are going to visit your fair city for few days before. :)

Actually the fancier igloos are now wired for 120/240. Going to have to sell more furs during the trapping season to be able to afford one though.

I am soooo wishing to tell the joke that the 'Pythons' told about American beer, but fortunately this is a family thread.;);):D:D
