The entire ‘nice’ narrative is old and no longer applicable. There is very little nice about Canada, especially in big cities. People are unfriendly and grumpy. Drivers are rude. Store clerks are indifferent at best. Government workers scowl at people. Few seem to do their job well, putting in minimum effort only. Smiles are lacking. There is no decent service in the service sector. Everyone complains. There is no sense of community. Nice my ass. That’s long gone.
True. I think that’s why Quebeckers are not nice. Life is hard. They have to work to make ends meet. They can’t survive well enough on handouts. Glad I left.
Interesting take. Having lived mainly in the USA and Singapore since 1989 I’d take both over Canada for many reasons. I don’t see how Canada is akin to the US or trending toward Singapore. Both of those countries have driven, ambitious people that are taught to work hard and succeed without relying on handouts. Teaching this in Canada would be considered evil. So Canada becomes a race to the bottom, and the people have no common core identity. There is mistrust among immigrant groups. No wonder they are not nice.
