We only encountered one rude, ignorant Canadian in the whole three weeks we were over there - that was the male morning desk-clerk in our hotel in Banff - but we only had to deal with him for half a minute so it hardly wrecked our holiday!

Otherwise, we constantly commented on the friendliness, cheerfulness, politeness and great service which we received from the fine people of BC and ONT. Same when we were in ONT seven years ago.

Canada is a wonderful country, and the Canadians we met were, apart from the Banff miserable-git, fine people. One A-hole in a population of 35 million is a pretty good score, AFAIC!
