long time, I have never encountered either item 1 or item 2. Of course,
there might be a place that won't take a credit card, but your credit card
company will charge you a fee and be happy to use a terrible exchange rate
as will restaurants if you pay in US cash.

Consider getting cash from your bank account at an ATM at a bank once you
land although there are fees there as well. If you are a TD bank customer,
TD is a Canadian Bank and that will eliminate a fee.

As for culture, smoked meat, bagels (they are different) and poutine should
be on this list.
