1.) Honestly, I can't remember (it came up during drivers ed but I've never seen one) but I'm pretty sure at least in most cases, it means it's a pedestrian activated light. 2.) It's a holdover from before gas cost more than a dollar per litre; when I was a kid it was simply $0.34/L or similar. I personally think everyone's still hoping for the magical day it pops back below a dollar. 3.) I've worked in a grocery store and we pronounced it Dan-on. I'm not sure why the E is there, and wasn't aware that it's not in other countries. Welcome to canada! Where are you? Edit: Looking back, I'm pretty sure gas was actually listed with a fraction of a cent then too (so it would have been 34.9 cents for example)
Everyone has answered your questions, but remember that not all areas of Canadia are created equal. Calgary doesn't have flashing solid greens that I've ever seen. Just arrows, and they're advance greens as already explained.

It's called Dannon here in the US and Danone everywhere else. We just had to be special, don'cha know? :)
