Can you use a Canadian or Us bank card to make purchases at the stores not a credit card.

Check backside of your card. You can use it for withdrawals from any ATM machines displaying the same logos. It may not allow purchases from merchants.

Be aware of the extra transactions charges involved !!

If your card has a Visa or MasterCard logo on it, you should be fine--I used my Bank of America debit card without any problems when I was in Doha last month.

No.

Have a check if its got Cirrus logo on it. If yes then you should be able to make withdrawals. About swiping it at shopping outlets... I would say no.

If the Cards are Compatible with the System the Shops are using, yes than you can do it. I know some European Bank Cards are working here
