Canadians have built themselves a reputation for being polite people. They value the words “please”, “thank you,” and “excuse me.” They make sure to apologize if someone bumps into them.
However, the internet and social media comment sections have exposed a sassier and fiercer side of Canucks. You’re about to see it in the following screenshots, where they’ve savagely roasted Americans, their neighbors south of the border.
Scroll down the list and check out some of the sickest burns of them all.

Shows you the status of their education. They are even signalling it with the upside down flag in their signature.
Apart from their polite nature, Canadians share many common values. According to an article by Simon Fraser University, one of them is the uneasiness during confrontations.
“Generally speaking, Canadians tend to feel uncomfortable in situations where another person is acting aggressively or rudely,” an excerpt from the piece reads.

No doubt the rest of the world is winning on this one. And obamacare, despite whatever faults it may have, could have been a superb system for all if it hadn't been opposed by the conservatives so virulently before and after it was created. All they wanted was a political win, not a win for the people of the country they are supposedly representing.

Another trait mentioned in the article is the prioritization and respect for personal space. It noted how Canadians typically maintain an arm's-length distance between people and respect each other’s privacy.
Casual conversations between strangers are often light and less serious, primarily revolving around mundane topics like the weather. The article noted that people often avoid discussing sensitive issues, such as money and politics.

Canada’s reputation as a polite nation also has its unsavory side. In July, University of Ottawa researcher Dr. Karine Coen-Sanchez published a paper that highlighted the “polite racism” that’s been plaguing the country’s workforce.
Dr. Coen-Sanchez particularly highlighted how employees who are people of color, such as second-generation Haitians and Jamaican Canadians, experience systemic barriers in hiring, promotion, and daily interactions with colleagues.

"The U.S. Will No Longer Provide Military Protection Unless Canada Becomes The 51st State"
Dr. Coen-Sanchez defines polite racism as a “distinctly Canadian form of racial exclusion.” She notes that it’s the kind of discrimination that “hides behind civility, bureaucratic neutrality, and institutional politeness.”

“It is the art of saying no with a smile. It sounds like, ‘You’re not the right fit.’ It looks like praise without promotion. It’s the feedback that never mentions race — and yet race determines who gets in, who moves up, and who belongs,” she noted.
Dr. Coen-Sanchez also stated that while many institutions publicly pride themselves on promoting equity, they “privately center whiteness as the measure of professionalism.” In her words, diversity is a “symbolic” celebration, but being white is what “defines competence and belonging.”

Facts Don't Care About You Feelings
Ultimately, Dr. Coen-Sanchez calls for a genuine approach to equity, not one that is performative or a PR stunt. She urges “learning the language of racism” as it truly functions, focusing on both implicit bias and polite racism.

A major problem underlying this semi-serious competitive exchange is the fact that the worst of us are also usually the loudest, thereby making the sane ones look guilty by association. That's a tradition as old as the "ugly American tourist" stereotype from the 1950s onward

I think a lot of the people look at Canada as the United States little brother. We had to fight Dad to let us move out in 1776. Canada moved out in 1867, and it was much easier. We may squabble like siblings, but we love y'all and we trust you are family. Look at the worlds longest undefended border for proof of that. We know that you and dad (UK) have our backs and we have yours. You are a different household, but we are all still family.

I don't really get the hateful attitude being celebrated. So many of these commenters would probably label themselves as compassionate and advocates for support. So why is it that they claim to truly believe that the US is failing, yet celebrate it? The collapse of the US would be AWFUL for Canada. Can you imagine 320 million gun-toting, desperate people looking north, remember how often they've been told how great things are there? That's the practical side. On the human side, celebrating this stuff is like pointing out the poorest kid in school and laughing about how poor he is.

Canada is not exempt from bigotry. On the other hand, there are attempts to rectify problems. If history is edited, it's to be more inclusive, especially of Indigenous people. The Canadian government appointed someone to counter Islamophobia. Sadly, the Quebec government is imposing public secularism. There is pushback - for example, the Archbishop of Montreal, opposes a law that (if passed) would ban public prayer:"it is the state that is secular, not society."
