Is it realistic?
I love Canadians, very friendly. I traveled overseas a lot and people thought I was Canadian. I finally asked why everyone thought that, they said because I was kind and quiet ? So it seems they make good impressions wherever they go.
Speaking for just me.. well maybe a few friends, we see Canadians as very nice and courtesous people....and lovely Vancouver, has more Chinese living there, than any other minority...
No judgements. ...
And they have given us Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Randy Bachmann, Burton Cummings , HEART, Alanis.. the Guess Who, Neil Young, DRAKE... but not Alan Thicke.. Lovely country . You get two in one .. French Canada and the rest.... The women are gorgeous and many come here to So Cali for the weather and their careers..
Did I pass the test ?
Not bad! ?There are a ton of other artists as well - not to mention the slew of comedy geniuses we have shared with you. Come visit us some time (youβd likely prefer summer). The population of our entire country is less than the population of California so we have lots of room!
I think for the most part they are seen as the same as people in the US, up until they talk about US politics then I think Americans get salty.
I'd live there in a heartbeat.
Not at all. I've spent a great deal of time in Canada, both for work and because I used to date a couple Canadian women (I've always had a thing for y'all...don't ask me..LOL). I refer to it as "Polite America". The difference is astounding. Not to mention things like environmental awareness...inclusiveness...open mindedness. Your problems pale next to ours. Especially now.
I can't from where I am. They are beyond the horizon. Only once in 18 years have I seen one passing through our town. As I remember it, she was rather easy on the eyes.
More Favorably than you would care to realize. We are having a hard time realizing ourselves amid the big divide that is occuring and no one is addressing.
@atheist I have lived in Buffalo, NY during the Blizzard of 77 when the 82nd Airborne had to come and dig the city out. I've lived in Manchester NH, Stowe Vermont and I know more about Canadian Culture than most Canadians do. I've been to Quebec 3X, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. I also play the bagpipes. Grass is not a consideration that would ever cross my mind.
They're what the people in the states should be like.
@AMNOTGOD
That's one of my pet peeves, and I did it myself.
Ridiculously and insanely polite and tolerant. I mean Trump visited their prime minister and they didn't even arrest him!!
My Great Grandparents were all from Quebec. I mostly view Canadians by watching Red-Green.
Red was my introduction to the Canadian people hmmmmm....
I can't speak for many Americans but I can speak for myself and several others I talk with:
Our consensus is Canadians are fortunate not to be living in an increasingly fascist Trump inspired plutocracy.
I watched "Due South" does that answer your question? lol (Also I have it on DVD). Paul Gross and Leslie Nielsen - I'm sure I have a very believable idea of Canadians?
Also my family came here through Canada. I still have relatives there. They are still sarcastic bastards - but they are more polite.
I am pretty polite most days actually? Residual Canadian contact? IDK.
We are sarcastic bastards - national pastime
I love Due South
I often say 'Thank you kindly' to people, which always put's a smile on their face
Ever seen South Park?
@atheist totally ??Lol
This American views most Canadians as being not that much different from us.
Just more polite, and not suffering under a bunch of morons, led by an even bigger
orange moron. Every Canadian I've ever met has been a pretty decent person.
Except for one guy. He was a dick, but we were both only 15 at the time. So, he was
just a regular teenage boy.
Special forces were developed by them they can't be that bad. I do find some of them a bit odd though, that is good because I love odd.
Iβm dying to know what βa bit oddβ refers to. Most Canadians would wear that title proudly by the way. ?
They seem happy not to be a part of the US right now.
oh yes we are - but we feel for you, we really do.
A lot of them hate their own representation. It's kind of interesting.
@RavenCT Yep.
we have a completely different political system with good and bad politicians - but our worst crap seems to pale in comparison to what we are watching you suffer through.
@MsDee I don't watch the news anymore.
Usually if they are in the distance I can stand on a chair to see them.
Can you see me waving?
@MsDee hi, how you doing?
Doing just fine here in the great white north. Waiting for spring to really arrive. If you see it while youβre up on that chair, please send it my way!
