Interestingly, in Southern Ontario, you do use "the": the 403, the 401, etc.
On the other side of the country, in southwest BC, we have fewer notable highways. The big one is "Number 1", or "the Trans-Canada", and in my town would just be called 'the highway':). Checking with my parents, others are referred to by number without 'the', or by name with 'the'.
...while the Sun, through proton-proton fusion, emits neutrinos. If solar neutrinos do affect radioactive decay, maybe it's because of the difference between neutrinos and antineutrinos?
In Canada here, in my experience, at the pub beer comes as pints (22 UK fl. oz.), half-pints (12 UK fl. oz. -- yes, it's not really one half of a pint), sometimes as "schooners" (16 UK fl. oz.)*, and various bottles (341 ml, 500 ml) and cans (not sure, 355 ml?, plus some bigger ones).
* I've only seen this in BC, and it's rare enough that I'm not sure about it.
Cyberduck is written in Java, but I'd bet that you couldn't tell from using it. There's a difference between OS X apps written in Java using the Cocoa classes, which for all intensive purposes are native, and those that are written to be cross-platform using Swing (or whatever).

or so says the National Safety Council. About five times more likely than dying of a lightning strike. Or 92 times more likely to die from getting hit by a car as a pedestrian.
Me, I'd worry about talking on your cellphone crossing the street.
Actually, I recall (back when I was in school), Newfoundland had tried to a 2-hour DST for a year or two. It was scrapped, for pretty much that reason: kids going to school in the dark.

90% is available in front of the pharmacy counter here in Canada. Great stuff for cleaning dry-erase boards.
Until recently, it was only the Airy function section that was up.
