Canadian are anything but polite. One of the rudest people on earth live in Toronto. You are driving no one gives you a way, you have to make it on your own and when you do people start honking. Canadians are the worse when it comes to being a customers. They would yell at you, start making fuss or create a scene just to get a few percent for discounts. You ask them to leash their dogs in a non-leash zone and they start swearing at you and say things like " you don't even live here". How can people of east coast or the Prairies call themselves polite while people of Toronto, where immigrants are such a huge population exist, prove themselves to be such rude, ignorant selfish? I strongly believe that the idea of Canadian politeness is just an urban legend or publicity stunt to lure immigrants to run such a vast land. Canadian are no different than their American counterparts.

People in large metro areas in my country are pretty much the same New. Smaller towns a little more polite but that is the way the world is everywhere. I had an impression of Canadians as well and useless slugs like this Gerry guy have changed my mind as well.

Sounds like you have yet to visit the civilized parts of Canada. We have no problems here like you describe. Mainly very genteel folk!

Where have you come from Newincanada?

Toronto has it's own particular flavour. Canadian, but each province has it's own flavour.

Be careful of Montreal too. They're a bit...different from the rest of us.

This is true, Canadian politeness is on a decline. It's all Harpers fault. Sunny ways is going to change all that. :lol:

Toronto isn't half as rude as Calgary. It is, admittedly a rude place compared to Atlantic Canada, the Prairies and the left coast. Quebec cdan be extremely rude ... or not, depending on several factors. They will shut you out if the "l"s are not dotted and the "T"s not crossed. Beyond a doubt, though, the least friendly, nastiest people in Confederation live in Alberta.

Maybe you should f*ck more because you cannot sustain your population without immigration.

Our population production has fallen mostly due to the reality that one good salary of 60 000$ a year is not enough to sustain a healthy large family, and having two parents working is just as challenging as two people working 3 1/2 full time jobs.

The result is a slide towards self extinction, as most of the intelligent people that are good at mathematics can easily crush the numbers and understand things just will not add up.

Many just opt out, or keep family sizes very low.

So let me get this straight, you interact with a very small portion of the population, then come on here to lash out at not only all Canadians but all Americans as well because of how those few people treat you. Judging an entire group based on the actions of a few is not exactly the mark of an open minded individual, nor is it indicative of someone who recognizes their own role in the problematic interactions they have with others.

To state any one attribute is absolutely true of an entire group of people is beyond absurd, regardless of whether that attribute is positive or negative. A stereotype is a stereotype, a ridiculous assumption that only a fool would believe in the first place.

Northern Ontario,
I've seen Both sides of people in the same day while visiting Toronto...
One woman behind me leaning on the horn when I was slow in taking off when the light turned green, then less than half an hour later, when I didn't see my exit lane in time and thought I might have to make a long detour, as I had my signal on and I figured it was useless....the car to my right tapped his horn to get my attention and signaled me to get ahead of him as he was slowing down and giving me space to cut in....

I guess that's how you justify over charging your customers then?

I'm guessing what she/he was seeing was a reflection of her/himself. :)

Not at all they were probably treated rudely and unkindly. To speak out about it doesn't necessitate it being a reflection of them that's really an ignorant comment coming from you . I'm a little surprised actually.

So the OP is, in essence, blaming (or at the very least, criticizing) an entire group of people, the vast majority of whom he has not and will never meet, for the actions of a few but it's someone else who is ignorant? Is this your position?

My goodness! If what you're saying is true, why that would mean that human beings are actually individuals who are capable of both ignorant, selfishness as well as gracious humility. Who knew? ;)

It can seem that way if you're an outsider. When I moved my family to a little town in the Ozarks not only were my girls treated unkindly at school but my ex wife and I were looked down upon as well so I can understand where the person is coming from whether he/she is right or wrong. My position is I understand their position. You can judge that however you wish.

Ludlow has a hard time intellectually with relativity of life. He tends see things as black or white. I've been trying to help him with it.
