I think you're okay. Not great, not bad, just okay.
I've been on a couple vacations, in Canada, and that's not much to judge a whole country on, you know? I mean, I'm hardley qualified to judge you, but, you asked!

I thought London was a very pretty city. Your population seems very polite, and kind. Your businesses seemed to close very early. That annoyed me.

You eat at restaurants differently. My wife and I thought the service sucked ass, bad, until we realized it kept happening. Canadians eat out at a more relaxed pace than we do, at least compared to Michigan's society. We kept waiting for the damn bill to come so we could leave....when we realized either every place we ate at in 3 cities sucked, or it was a cultural differance, we figured it out. You rush less, I think.

Niagra Falls. Hm... this left me wondering about Canadians. My wife and I were treated less well than other, single race, couples sitting at tables next to us. At $150 for dinner for two, I'd expect the service to be good no matter what. Neither she, nor I, like to "play the race card" so to speak. But, it was hard to ignore the difference in treatment. However, I can't judge Canada by this, but just the people we were in contact with. They sucked.

I think that Candians are cool, and I'd like to visit your land again. It's beautiful. The Highways are boring as fuck, but very scenic.

You make great beer, I'm enjoying my 4th Moosehead right now. Thank you.
