I may be educated.... but not about my neighbors to the north. Hard for me to have a perception of the people themselves when I have almost no experience with them.
Ive been to Vancouver BC and found it extremely clean. The road signs are very different, so a bit confusing to get around. The people I met their seemed friendly and happy... or happy to take my money. Not sure which it was. Lol
My experience on a cruise ship with many French Canadians was quite a bit different. The ones I encountered were rude or unfriendly or easily offended. Couldn't tell you which of the three emotions they were truly displaying, but they seemed not to like me or my wife. I thought when you smile at people that they are supposed to smile back, not scowl at you. Lol
