Heh, I can only go by what my sister tells me since she lives up there now.  My
bro-in-law is a native....I've had clear margerine at their place when
they lived
in Toronto, and blue.  It should be interesting if Canada actually goes through
with the proposed ban on trans fats that has been proposed to follow the
labeling laws that were just passed.  Maybe it is a regional thing or something.

Colored ketchup is popular with the little crowd here in the states too.
