I've read about similar experiences from other Americans who have been here. I'm curious, how exactly were you treated when you visited Canada? Did they pretend you were invisible, or sneer down at you? I grew up in the US myself before my family moved here to Canada, and I can attest to a difference in attitudes. I remember Americans being more genuinely friendly, and it makes me think the Canadian "niceness" is just propaganda. On the internet, Americans seem to have a much better sense of humor and don't take themselves seriously. They are better at having fun, and I am embittered that I am missing out on that. Americans make all the funniest memes.

I saw this image once that was a collage of common words used by Canadians on twitter vs Americans on twitter. It was designed to paint Canadians as being much kinder and smarter, whereas Americans apparently used a lot of words like "sup, hate, sucks, damn". But since I didn't grow up in Canada, I see it for what it is: Americans are a lot more honest and expressive, and Canadian propaganda makes that look like a bad thing. Canadians think they're so smart, and are fed a steady diet of anti-American propaganda, and that probably helps explain the way you were treated here. I hate this politeness shit, it's suffocating me - what am I, an old lady in 1800s England?

Canadians are fed a steady diet of anti-American propaganda, just like the rest of the world, and that probably helps explain the way you were treated here.
