I have had some really rude snarky comments made to me up there. I am from Texas we don't treat visitors that way.
I,too,have run into that and have a theory as to its cause.But I won't share it in "mixed" company.
I regret that some of my fellow Canadians were rude to you. We have our fair share of ignorant ass-hats up here. I’d welcome you to Canada and clink beer bottles with you anytime. (Canadian beer, of course!)
Just go Alberta Ditter. We like real Americans up here. I always make sure I deal with real Americans though before helping travellers out. I usually just ask if they voted for obama. For everyone except one, it sets off a rant against him. Then I say welcome to Alberta, anything I can do to help you out? Heh.
I am done with liberals.
Go to Alberta they are a bunch of red neck cowboys who hate the French speaking BS. Any Texan would feel right at home.
Jealousy and a national inferiority complex. Some of us have gotten over it.
