Yeah, thats most Canadians in this thread at 15-20.
I make no claims on your linked articles or yahoo.ca. I would doubt that the yahoo.ca answers are representative.
And I repeat my belief that the basic presumption of a 18.7% base rate for tipping is flawed. I'm certain I could find many examples (and links of 'proof') of current American trends, customs, and policies that you believe to be flawed.

...never been to a fine dining establishment and had poor service or tipped anywhere below 20%. But I've pretty much stiffed the airhead college girl at Earls and the old bitch at the diner.

I'm generally not a bad tipper, but I've seen enough of both sides of the transaction to have strong opinions on the topic.
