but we do have a bit of a stigma attached to us for being "polite" people for the most part, i fear the more people come to stay and live amoungst us from abroad the worse our manners get........




Canadians are not polite generally(in my experience of global travelers). In fact I would go as far as to say they are one of the least polite to deal with.



REALLY Bill?! Well in MY experience I've always found 'em to be a little more polite than us Yanks in general.

(...HOWEVER, it's their tight-fisted TIPPING practices that seems to be the talk of the service industry folks around here in Arizona, 'cause I've heard MORE than ONE waitress mention THAT over time)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
