LOL that's mean bro, what did my people ever do to you to deserve that comparison?
I'm kind of joking LOL
I used to spend a lot of time up in your neck of the woods white water kayaking.
You find out pretty quick where you stand up there with some if you don't speak French. I've also traveled enough to also understand that when in a foreign country, speaking loud and slow doesn't help others who don't speak English any better, and since I'm a guest in their country, people always be needed to be treated with respect.
This was close to 30 years ago when you could cross the boarder with ease, so perhaps things have changed.
That said, I can honestly say I never met someone up there who boated that wasn't pretty cool, even if they spoke French (LOL), and always returned the hospitality if I came across Canadian boaters in NY or even WV doing some boating.
Took my son up to the Finger Lakes in NY a couple of years ago as a "father and son" vacation to show him where his grandfather did his basic training in the early 50's (hadn't been up to NY in over 20 years since then). The irony is the only two drivers I came across up there that reminded me of Jersey drivers had Québec plates
It's all good, if I offended you, I apologize.
Sorry, off track...
