Lot’s of bears in Canada. What do they expect? Usually brown bears run away from people, it’s the grizzly’s that will get you.

The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos ssp.) is any North American subspecies of the brown bear, including the mainland grizzly (Ursus arctos horribilis), the Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi), the peninsular grizzly (Ursus arctos gyas) and the recently extinct California grizzly (U. a. californicus)[1] and Mexican grizzly bear (U. a. nelsoni).

Brown bears are the aggressive variety. Black bears are just oversized raccoons. Raccoons can bite, of course.
