Happy Canada Day :)

This is a Canada joke :)  American TV programs always stereotype Canadians as being terribly polite.  I certainly don't consider this a bad thing, eh?

    Hello! Well, I posted it as a joke, but it's one we can all enjoy. I'm glad your experience bears this out :)

    Hi Bettie! Being in Canada only 5 years, I believe the stereotype is quite true! Everyone is very nice and polite -- especially compared to many Americans. Americans are also nice, but maybe not so polite. Just my thoughts. . . Thank you for your post!
