Overall, Americans are FAR nicer than Canadians.....
Mark!
Eh...you know, it all depends on what cities you are comparing.
There are places in the States that have very friendly people (on average) and then there are other places where good manners/being considerate is less fashionable/valued.
I don't think that I have ever met any Canadian that I did not get along with.
Ever notice how many Canadians help run this site? GrimJack, Jeff Lange, Loki, UpgradedSupra, to name a few.
SF, on the other hand, seems to have a lot of Texans running that site.
And unlike what many think, for the most part of that country, they speak English. I don't know the exact percentages though.
Met a bunch of folks that were from Canada that I met in Florida.
Man, I was so surprised at the time just how much they spoke as if they were from the States. No detectible accent at all. As if they came from California or Upstate NY.
