People will tell you how they feel, they don't beat around the bush. They're super nice though, don't get me wrong. Friendliest people I've ever encountered in a big city. They just aren't afraid to let you know if you've pissed in their cheerios.

Haha awesome. Yeah I've heard from multiple people that the stereotype that Canadian's are the friendliest people in the world, is actually very true. The Aussie comedian Adam Hills told a bit, where he went to Canada when they had the tallest building in the world. In the hotel lobby, he asked the receptionist if there is anything worth checking out in the city. The receptionist says "oh not really, you might like that building over there though", Adam says "why not" and checks out this building a few blocks down. He goes to the top of the building and notices a small sign which reads "CN Tower, Tallest building in the wolrd". He's amazed how nobody had told him that this was the tallest building in the world. He goes back to the hotel and says to the receptionist "Thats the tallest building in the world!!" "I thought youd like it" says the receptionist. Adam then goes on to say how if this were in an American city, as you landed at the runway the overhead speaker would have said "Welcome to Chicago (example), Home of the TAAAAAALLEST BUILDING IN THE WOOOOOOOORLD!!!!!"
