I guess I should comment on whether I think in general people do. Everyone I know tips similarly to me, so I have to say I don't feel there's a basis for the contention Canadians tip less.
Maybe those that do are trying to stick it to America for years of a piss poor loonie.

If you come here, acquaint yourself with our customs, you will have a more enjoyable visit.
It is ironic that you took such a strong exception to the use of the term "Canadian", in the other thread in this forum.
I've provided data supporting the notion that you tip below par, vs. the Canadian average, and you are apparently stealing the service when dining at an American restaurant, and costing your server an opportunity to wait on a less hostile customer.
Please order and eat quickly, skip the coffee and dessert, pay the check and move along. You only rent the seat, and you negatively impact the earnings of the poor schmuck who is serving you.
It is so easy to identify customers who have had the work experience of waiting tables for tips.
If nothing else, I know you will be approaching your next sit down restaurant experience with an enhanced insight, whether it influences your tipping habits or not. If you linger at the table, after you eat, I hope you recall our discussion, if for no other reason, than because it will aid you in reading your server's mind.
