Canada is the most Debit based country I have ever seen. Not having enough change to buy a cup of coffee cause all you have is your debt card is a very common thing here.
In the US, many places still only accept credit cards and no debit, which is why Visa Debt etc is being pushed down there. As it works on regular credit card only machines, because its really just a credit card that automatically tries to withdraw from your bank account instead of waiting for the bill to come to your home and you paying it.
