a-k, the coffee shops on your side of the border in BC aren't (from what I understand, never been there) really specialists in coffee, but more likely herbs and, ummmm, spices.
Perhaps you need to travel a bit more through the US. The coffee down here is often quite excellent, far more often than was the case 10 years ago. Even in this remote outpost in the Rocky Mountains, there are three or four shops where one can buy a world-class cup made from freshly-roasted top quality varietal beans.
Sadly, the quality of coffee in Europe seems to be going in the other direction. I can't remember a single decent cup of coffee in my 40 or 50 times in Germany, a few in Austria (Vienna only, it's a wasteland elsewhere), and none in France. One can still find excellence in Italy.
What I find puzzling is the huge deterioration of both the coffee and the presentation in Holland compared to 20 years ago.
I cannot forgive Canada for Rush and Keanu Reeves.

Canada-land haha!
What is this thread? My country could beat up your country! Feel the wrath of Canadian lumber, fools!
Did I see someone talking bad of Rush back there? In a thread about how awesome Canada is? GRR...
Seriously though, this thread gave me some chuckles having just found it today, a good Friday morning read...I recommend everyone find some Ron James stand-up comedy and watch it. He'll teach you about Canadian heritage.
