That's sad. We're maybe not as exciting as Europe, but we're pretty nice all the same.
My parents love Vancouver- they've been there twice on holidays. I've just never had occasion to go. What American college student, or recent grad gets a hankering to tour Canada? Maybe they do, just not me.

I've met some really nice cool people from Canada, mainly the west, and I've met some arrogant jerks from Canada, mainly the eastern part.
Number one most annoying thing some Canadians do, in my opinion: tell you they know more about X facet of America than "most Americans." That's just one of those things that only Canadians seem to be willing to say with a straight face- you don't hear it coming from people who aren't both English speaking, and actually from the same continent. That leaves Canadians. Now I'm not even saying it can't be true- it's just an annoying and pointless thing to say, and unfortunately I've heard it one to many times.
That is all. Viva la Canada.

Like the Maritimes or Quebec and the Maritimes or Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes?
Anyway, shockingly, Canada is not full of super-nice zombies but real people! Some of them are jerks.

I have to admit that a northern neighbor populated entirely with super-nice zombies would be kind of cool.

Not that I can recall all of them individually, but the nastier types of Canadians I've met have all been from Quebec or Ontario, or other places, just not from the west. Maybe that's just because we pacific northwestern people sometimes consider ourselves one continuous nation stretching from San Francisco to Vancouver. Alaska can't come though.
