The Robertson (which no one, literally no one, calls that here -- it's just called "Square" and to be precise, the more common version by far is called "Square Number Two") is really THE one and only default here for everything except drywall screws.
I always assumed all of Canada was like this. (The Vancouver project a few years ago, all our stuff came directly from our American partner, so the Star screws (Phillips) were to be expected; I didn't really get to buy screws over there so I didn't notice what was standard.)
