I always think the USA is ahead of Canada in every way, so I was amazed that we are still asked for a signature here in TV.
Surely Visa will step up soon.

My understanding is that it's a matter of the US banks and the store vendors not wanting to spend the money to change the antiquated, insecure system.
Bare, when you're at a restaurant in Canada, do they bring a card reader to the table so you can pay your bill without ever having the card be out of your sight? That's another thing common in Europe that should be instituted here as well. But it costs $.
