Beaver Tails, while popularized in Ottawa, especially on the canal in winter, come from the Ottawa Valley. Specifically the little town of Killaloe. Which is very close to where my wife's family is from and where we now have a cottage.
Leto rightly points out that the Killaloe Sunrise (a beaver tail sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar and a squirt of lemon juice) is the best of the bunch.
The coolest thing was discovering a Beaver Tail franchise operating in Singapore. That was weird.
Sugar Pie is, as Leto points out, a butter tart but on the scale of a pie rather than a tart. A better way to envision it is a pecan pie but with no peans. They are popular in Quebec.
But now that you mention it, Butter Tarts are a good one too. I love Butter Tarts. And Nanaimo Bars are definately a Canadian thing... any American version is just a pretender to the original...
