The guy sounds or came off as little foolish really
Sounds like a Nice guy though.
The thing about Canadians is that we are known as some of the nicest people in the world.
So true.
But not in the way you think.
You think "nice" means what dictionaries tell you it means. Such as Oxfords Dictionary.

Knowing English is a newer language in the history of languages; where do our words come from? Most of us know for example that English is made up of classical Latin,Germanic and French. Did the words mean the same in it's Root languages? Some yes, some no.
Etymology.
Nice (adj.)
late 13c., "foolish, ignorant, frivolous, senseless," from Old French nice (12c.) "careless, clumsy; weak; poor, needy; simple, stupid, silly, foolish," from Latin nescius "ignorant, unaware," literally "not-knowing," from ne- "not" (from PIE root *ne- "not") + stem of scire "to know" (see science). "The sense development has been extraordinary, even for an adj." [Weekley] -- from "timid, faint-hearted" (pre-1300); to "fussy, fastidious" (late 14c.); to "dainty, delicate" (c. 1400); to "precise, careful" (1500s, preserved in such terms as a nice distinction and nice and early); to "agreeable, delightful" (1769); to "kind, thoughtful" (1830).
Ever heard the expression, "Nice guys always finish last"?
The tone-deaf nature of your comment, which was recycled from another post on the same subject, shows that you've fallen for the "Canadians are nice and therefore inconsequential" psyop.
We've just shown the world what kind of spines we really have. The psyop is broken. But you're still stuck in it.

Welcome to Canada
Speaking of "low knowledge" you haven't been paying attention, have you?
I have. You? When was your awakening
June 2015.
And being Canadian, I awoke to more than what was going on in my own country.
You should try the same.
What did I miss?
1985
Instead of being just fat and nice with your reply .. what am I not paying attention to?

Are you saying most Canadians aren't pussies?
Tone-deaf nature of blah blah blah.. you sound like a comrade. You fail to get my point . Maybe it's my fault.
