I really enjoy Chinese culture and I find the Chinese people for the most part absolutely astounding, sadly our governments play us against one another. If all political nonsense and greed were to be set aside, which countries do you think would be best friends, or even allied together, based on their people alone?
I don’t know, I’ve met a decent amount of Canadians over the years, never got any bad vibes from us. I think the problem is America has more than our fair share of assholes, so they approach us a little skeptically, but if you show you’re not an asshole, I think they like us just fine.
Of course, my biases should be disclosed. Most of the Canadians I’ve met have been from roughly the Toronto area, plus a good handful of French Canadians.
Couple of the officers at the border when I went to Montreal were kind of dicks, but I think that’s more of a universal feature of border crossing and customs officials around the world. Once I was there though no one gave me any shit.
