Subject: RE: BS: Cultural differences: Canada/U.S.
Cape Bretoner's from Mars? Guess Newfoundlanders are from Pluto?? So Americans are from Earth?? Here in the Eastern Atlantic Provinces, we don't forget much about our past and retain much of the music and culture. Difference from Americans to Canadians? Any traveler will tell you, you can spot an American out in a crowd in downtown Berlin. American's have become labeled loud and aggressive especially in differnect cultural settlings from their own. I over heard an Irish lad once describing an American tourist he just met.. "If it ain't the American way, it ain't good." Canadians for the most part sit back and quietly stay out of the way and tend to say "Sorry" or "Pardon me" alot. But each side has exceptions. Thankfully we are both different, it would be a boring world if we were all the same.
