I can't read and understand everything in this postcard, so it would be nice if anyone perhaps just could write it down?

What I understand is that this guy didn't really like the Canadians?

My dear old Boy!
Canada is a fine country in every respect, but you find no restaurant (something) here or people don't know what a (something) is, a (something), nobody jolling(?) here, so I shall go back before long. Your Thomas.

Best I can do bud- that's the worst handwriting I have ever seen!

My dear old Boy,
Canada is a fine country in every respect, but you find no restaurant waiter here or people don't know what a Beer is, Well nobody is jobbing here, so I shall go back before long. Your Thomas.

thank you - ok as this seems to be a Swiss writing this (probably it's not error-free?), which I didn't think at the beginning, I would read it like:

My dear old Boy,
Canada is a fine country in every respect, but you find no "Restaurant Walder" here & people don't know what a Buur is & a Nell & nobody is jodling here, so I shall go back before long. Your Thomas.

So probably the "Walder" is a name, "Buur" is farmer in Swiss and "Nell" is a trump card in a Swiss card game. Now I also learned something from a stamp and a postcard :).
