No way Australia has a better meat pie than Canada.

Tourtière
Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and Eastern Quebec

Preparation of the stuffing for a tourtière du Lac-Saint-Jean
The tourtières of the
Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean area and Eastern Quebec are slow-cooked deep-dish meat pies made with
potatoes and various meats (often including wild game) cut into small cubes.
Elsewhere in Quebec and the rest of Canada, this variety of tourtière is sometimes referred to, in French and in English, as
tourtière du Lac-Saint-Jean or
tourtière saguenéenne to distinguish it from the varieties of tourtière with ground meat.
Montreal
Tourtière in Montreal is made with finely ground pork only (which can be hard to find as the meat is often ground too coarsely elsewhere). Water is added to the meat after browning, and cinnamon and cloves give it a distinctive flavour. Many people use ketchup as a condiment, though the tourtière is also often eaten with maple syrup or molasses, mango chutney, or cranberry preserves.
Although it is less popular than the original tourtière and the tourtière du Lac-Saint-Jean, this version can also be commonly found throughout Canada and its surrounding areas.
Manitoba
Tourtière is an integral part of holiday-time meals for
French Canadians in
St. Boniface, as well as in Manitoba's rural
Francophone areas. Browned meat is seasoned with varying combinations of savory, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, celery salt, dry mustard, salt and pepper.
Acadia
Acadian tourtière, or pâté à la viande (pâté is casserole or pie), is a
pork pie that may also contain chicken, hare and beef. Pâté à la viande varies from region to region in
New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia and
Prince Edward Island. In Petit-Rocher and Campbellton the dish is prepared in small pie plates and known as
petits cochons (little pigs).
