I thought that this was DISCUSSION forum....
The thread started with an OP that inquired as to whether Americans were using the word "Canadian" because of disapproval of "left of center" political leanings of the Canadian majority.
Now, it seems, a shift has taken place in which posters who identify themselves as Canadian, are directing negative sentiment at subservient, well groomed, powerless working people.....people born to embrace "left of center" political leanings....
Canadians were not singled out and labeled. It is not uncommon to stereotype and associate people who act similarly and with a high probability. It's just business, and a positive way to channel hostility, to vent it so that it does not spill over into the next business transaction.
How do you usually react to people, who compared to most others who you deal with, are measurably deficient in holding up their end of the bargain. Maybe the people who act in an average way when they pay the bill for a restaurant meal are doing it on purpose, to make you look bad.
