Canadians have a great screw: the Robertson or "square drive" head. When living in Canada we discovered how superior the Robertson screw is from the Phillips screw we use in the USA - and I've since used these screws in all my building projects. However, I'm running out of my stash... and I can't seem to find any sources locally. I was almost thinking I would have to make a run to Canada sometime to get some screws, when my wife had a better idea... :-)
