This blog will be giving a weekly award to countries in which removing shoes in homes is customary. The first of these awards goes to Canada. Removing shoes in homes is usually associated with the Far East. Nevertheless, perhaps because of the winter weather, shoes off at the door is the usual policy in Canada.

Canada may be full of liberals and lack the excitement of Yankland, to the south, but its a beautiful country in which most people evidently care about keeping their homes clean.
