Them is fightin’ words to a Canadian.

I've heard that too. But as far as differences, after visiting Canada a number of times in the past twenty-five years, you can go to many places there and think you're in the States. Much of Canada is very similar to the upper Midwest outside the large cities.

And as far as "unfriendly" Canadians, on separate visits I've had my ears yakked off by very friendly Canadians. The last time in Alberta one guy at a Canadian national monument conducted a friendly monologue for half an hour to my wife and me.
