Lol...!!!

I have to say that my only Canadian experience was visiting Expo '67 when I was a kid, SO many of the frogs were RUDE and HOSTILE when we'd stop in a small Quebec town and ask directions, etc....they simply oozed contempt for English speakers...

Must have been a bit akin to how blacks might have been treated traveling throughout the pre - Civil Rights era US...

The only "ruder" travel experience I've had besides that Canadian trip was when an officious East German in an adjacent seat on a 1978 Prague - East Berlin plane trip asked me, "OH, are you Canadian?", to which I replied, "No, I'm American"...he visibly recoiled and prolly would have moved seat had the plane not been full, lol...
