Ok, here is the savings I have seen:
McDonald's`s 15% given while in uniform, I did not ask, just surprised when I received it.
KFC 15% discount, while in uniform
Holiday Inn hotels have a discount, sometimes better than the internet rate, sometimes not.
Via Rail is still offering military discounts
The Running Room 15% off, just show id
Hubby has mentioned Subway giving a discount as well when he was in uniform
In the States:
Movie theatres will have the prices discounted for military, Cdn military id works, we lived in Colorado for 4 years and never had a problem with it.
Shades of Green (military only resort on Walt Disney World) you have to be actively working with the US military to qualify to stay here; however, there is a shop in the hotel where you can buy discounted park tickets with your Cdn military id.
We found while living in the States that most places will advertise a military discount and if they do not, just ask.
That is all so far, I think I need to call Future Shop about the laptop I bought there last weekend :S

“The Canadian Forces’ history is steeped with stories of courage and bravery from Atlantic Canadians. I am proud that Marine Atlantic and this government are recognizing and celebrating this historic past,” added Minister of Veterans Affairs Greg Thompson.

I think what was meant was that you get a 10-15% discount on the emergency services as well as the paintball game. You know, for when your paintball section attack goes horribly wrong.

NJ transit give's you 50% off if you show ID, doesn't matter what country your from. Chances are if your travelling down there you aren't going to care about the 50 cent to 5 dollar difference in fares, but remember that it IS American dollars and cents I'm talking about, not Canadian.
