Are Canadians Polite? No! Here’s Why:

[@massassafras914]

I've worked with Canadians in multiple job environments, both as customers and coworkers, and it's really made me wonder were the nice stereotype came from. Canadians are MEAN lol

[@estamosensalsa6722]

I moved to Canada 10 years ago and Floridians are nicer

[@clockworkNate]

It came from the past, when Americans weren't constantly making fun if and putting down Canadians... we got tired of that b.s and now the States reaps what it sows. Sawry aboot that though eh😂

[@RBN406]

As someone from Montana who lives an hour from the border, I've been trying to convince people of this for years. Canadians aren't nice, they're Passive Aggressive

[@hungryim8643]

Just bunch of triggered Canadians here in the comment section awkwardly emphasizing that they're nice while passive-aggressively calling out the show's host pretty much proves the video's point IMO. And as the foreigner who lived in Canada for many years, I can't agree more as well. They always brag about how super nice Canadians are, but then always move on to bashing other countries, especially the US, for being morally inferior. I always think "Didn't you guys said you were the nicest people just minutes ago?" And alas, if you point out any issues about Canada, get ready to listen to their pathetically passive-aggressive excuses for hours. Canadians are like a popular school guy who asks out a disabled kid to the school prom to get praises from everyone and immediately ditches her once the prom starts and no one is looking.

[@koffiecake]

No? I am from the US, and sure, Canadians talk bad about Americans. So do we! Everybody talks crap about my country!

[@krisgill3877]

I’m Canadian and Americans are much nicer tbh

[@Derna1804]

Come on, Canadians don't bring up excuses, they bring up the War of 1812 for no reason.

[@medvlog5974]

i am an immigrant , and i can say that if you are an immigrant just try to socialize with other immigrants because socializing with canadians is so hard , and you can end up lonely for the rest of your life if you try to make canadian friends .

[@WheresYourToque]

My American buddy used to say he kept them at arm's length because they were cold, insecure, and hard to get along with. His short stay in Canada was a nightmare for him. He once travelled all the way to Alberta to rescue a relative from that cold, sad, place. Lol!

[@richmoney941]

There is one way to socialize with Canadians, just start criticizing the USA for no reasons.

[@marvwatkins7029]

"Canadians are as cold as their winters." - P.E. Trudeau

[@Damremont18]

I agree. Americans are very friendly. Very open and very generous. We Canadians...you can live across the street from a neighbour for 10 years and not say a word the whole time.

[@hellfreezer3037]

If u never have any canadian neighbor who got mad at u or want to start a fight with u for some reason, then u r the lucky one (esp here in vancouver)

[@Madhadsman]

Sounds fucking miserable…

[@sleepyfromstress6524]

As a Canadian, I agree wholeheartedly. I hate it when I hear the “Canadians are polite” stereotype because I’ve never met one truly polite, courteous one before (including myself).

[@jencastro]

Canadians are not that polite.

[@aroundtheworld1692]

I have however travelled the world and met all kinds of people. And most of those people are nice. And then we get to Canadians….. It is the utmost exercise in hypocrisy, by far the defining trait. The public image is of the do good and fair persona, but behind the scenes, tearing people apart is the national pastime, many times inflicting permanent damage. You really need to watch your back in Canada, whereas elsewhere, you tend to know where you stand right away.

[@MsK-xm7vw]

Dead on!

[@brettsmith5903]

Yes thank you. Finally someone who has actually met a canadien lol

[@Madhadsman]

I’ve had quite a few run-ins with Canadians. They are by and all appear to me to be quite cold and insecure and some, hateful toward Americans especially. Maybe it’s because I wear a straight billed hat a lot. But the Canadian people who I see with the most resentment running through their vanes are older-white ladies. Yowzers, fucking cheer up!

[@marvwatkins7029]

Finally, an honest Canuck.

[@naomihunter9412]

As an American, I think Canadians are too cold to be nice lol

[@hellfreezer3037]

Americans r much friendlier

[@Itsselis]

@@hellfreezer3037 as a Canadian. Yes

[@toyosia8051]

Canadians have a pride problems. They’re also so patronising and self entitled. As a British law student going to a British university, I’ve noticed that the Canadians think they run the place. Americans are just better

[@Karuminu2]

I myself am a Canadian and I can honestly say that is SO TRUE!

[@rat6508]

Karuminu2 Thank you! I thought I was insane for the longest time! As I lived there for so long everyone would get mad at me when I said things like this!

[@Schweelie]

Definitely

[@WheresYourToque]

@@rat6508 we hate people exposing the truth aboat Canada, or at least people who defame our image as being "nice".

[@ladygodiva9294]

I'm Canadian and do all of the things that he says Canadians don't do. Maybe he's Ontario Candian, not prairie Canadian. Prairie Canadians will invite you into their home and be your supportive friend, we drive hours to help others because we're spread across wider distances

[@krumamadeproductions4979]

I'm TORONTO Canadian but live in America

[@mbrewer421]

Yes, Prairie Canada is very much like southern/mid-western America in terms of friendliness and sociability.

[@mase9308]

YES this is so true

[@somerandomperson3970]

Maybe because they are conservatives

[@ekaterinabalderdash1274]

Londoners exhale in sorry. Like a three-peat sneeze: “Sorry-sorry-sorry!” A lot of those Canadian sorries sound like “Sorry - I’m not getting involved - don’t speak to me.” A lot of their body language showed fear too. Some disdain. Sorry. Just my observations.

[@esthercouvertier8419]

M mi lm

[@TanvirAlif]

I have heard that Canadians say sorry/pardon so that people don't think they are racist. Not to be nice.

[@hellfreezer3037]

Canada is 10x more racist than America, esp towards chinese persons like me

[@mlsaulnier]

I am a Canadian who has lived in Chile for six years and NO one says sorry for anything here even if they step on your foot! I come back to Canada and the barrage of "sorries" happens. It is kinda nice and annoying at the same time. It is more than just a trope, I can attest to it.

[@LK-pc4sq]

Hi Mlsaulnier..you cute :) Chile are not really all that nice. Are you on facebook?

[@nataleeisjustchilling2737]

Oh I always say sorry must get it from my mom cause she’s Canadian lol

[@georgemansilla9629]

I'm American and wonder what the heck are you doing in Chile and for so long, if it's so bad get the heck out of there and go back to your country, you are a foreigner in another country. We Americans cannot stand you nanooks of the north starting with that idiot Alex Trebek who has been dying for several years but keeps filling his pockets thanks to us.

[@xorge38x]

Hi, I'm from Chile living in Canada almost 5 years. I hope you are enjoying Chile. Yeah, we don't say enough sorry, but we really sorry for something important and we try to do something about. Now I say sorry for everything even if I don't feel it 😂.

[@joe_reviews2795]

I am from Chile and this is 100% true, chileans in Santiago never say sorry and if I say sorry to them they will just keep going like I dont exist. But chileans are way more honest than Canadians, I lived in Canada and everyone was so so fake it was unbearable, I hate all that fake politeness. I like the Australians way more, most common words on Australian streets are Sorry and No Worries and they ment it. Canadians and Chileans from remote regions are super simillat thou, very nice ppl.

[@richmoney941]

That "cart bumping" happened with me many times and didn't even get "sorry" or "excuse me". Canadians just wanna avoid talking but can give you passive aggressive look while they are at fault. One more thing Canadians love to criticize the USA so that they can feel better about themselves He showed the truth when he was using go bro and walking in streets. In really "not much sorry" and if your stuff fall nobody will come forward to help you. But in the USA, people will run to help you out

[@AndrewAment]

From Pittsburgh and people suffer from the passive aggressive “sorry syndrome” as I call it. I moved out west and lived there for 5 years. When I lived there people and my friend taught me that “sorry is compulsive response” and would go on to discuss “psychologically saying sorry is proof you are guilty when you shouldn’t.” This is true. I used to have the sorry syndrome until I thought before spoke. Saying “excuse me” when I bump into someone or any other occurrences doesn’t make you look guilty. I grown so much out of my shell when i learned that people accept my TRUE personality. Canadians scorned me. I know too many of them that were so nice but i couldn’t get their phone number and I would overthink if i offended them... that is WRONG!!! No one should do that to you.

[@Cr4ftyP4wz]

everyone in the world: Canadians are always saying sorry canada: no you are the fault, I am just acting

[@lisam145]

I’m actually not from Canada but my dad was there for his job and I got vacation so me and my mom got to see him and he was in Toronto. I can tell you people there are very rude like I accidentally bumped into someone and she made the meanest face at me but then we went to Vancouver where my other relatives were staying and I can say the people there were so nice like the neighbors we barely knew made us some nice soup and everyone say sorry if they bump into you! Also not all Toronto people are mean but I was just saying from my experience

[@GenerationJonesi]

Hahaha! I've always said we're passive aggressive.

[@denizulasarslan7421]

So accurate lol

[@dhclark76]

From what I can tell, the real issue is that Canadians got their reputation for being friendly largely from previous generations, particularly the WWII generation and, basically, subsequent generations have lived high on that reputation while taking it for granted and not really living up to it. Many of the traditions and outward manifestations of politeness are more prevalent in some ways than in American culture... but the internal feeling behind it that gives it real substance and meaning have waned tremendously, especially with later aged baby boomers and Gen Xer's. Some of the the Millennial Canadians I've met have been the most condescending and therefore impolite and unfriendly little twerps I've ever met. Ironically... they are either completely unaware that their passive aggressiveness has become overtly hostile in some circumstances, or they just think Canadians are inherently "more polite" simply by virtue of being born north of the 49th parallel. That said... as a native of rural California and now a resident of "rural" Montana, I find that I relate more to those Canadians between Vancouver and Winnipeg than I do to most American urbanites. The cultural divide in both America and Canada is far more between rural and urban areas and I think rural Canadians and Americans all loath the typical condescending and unfriendly nature of all urbanites on either side of the 49th parallel.

I’m a Canadian and have American friends and colleagues. I can say that he is 100% correct, especially for people from Ontario. People from the prairies are more friendly and closer to Americans! Americans shoot straight and like to openly discuss things, but Canadians are reserved and don’t like to openly talk about sensitive topics such as religions, races, etc. That doesn’t mean they are not opinionated or have no racial biases though.

I don’t find Canadians so nice. They are polite but it is fake. Most of them are cold and it is so hard to make friends, it is the North American individualism. They don’t have a lot of hospitality and they culture and curiosity levels are low. If I generalize I would say that they are passive-aggressive.
