It would be awesome if Canada could do this.

You also have much better consumer protection with a credit card. Dodgy machine steals your info and runs amok buying stuff? With a CC you contest the charges, get a new card, and the company fights to get their money back. With debit it's your money, nobody will fight for you.

That's right! Very good point.
