My family buys bags of flour every time we're in Canada because the old recipes apparently don't taste quite right with anything else. We'll probably keep doing it because it's kind of fun.

Canadian "all-purpose" flour has a higher gluten content than American "all-purpose" flour. It's closer to American "bread flour".

That's aside from whatever harder-to-measure taste differences it might have, but it makes a big difference by itself.
