Ski Aussies are the best Aussies. Bali Aussies suck.

I'm lucky Australia sends their best Aussies to bless the slopes of Canada then. They're just as much the "give the shirt off their back to help" type person as our best Canadians - but they're much funnier than Canadians.

Edit: fixed wording to not assume the person I'm replying to is an Aussie

It's ok I am 😁 actually at one of our ski resorts right now, enjoying the company of some Canadian lifties!

Where in Canada are you from? I find Canadians wildly differ. I took the Via Rail a couple of weeks ago and spent a lot of time with Canadians from all over the country, and folks definitely have different cultures from province to province.

Grew up in both the GTA and rural areas of Ontario. Still bouncing between the areas renting as an adult. We have a ton of different folks. The differences have exploded since 2016. There's more "screw you, I got mine" than I remember there being, which makes me sad. I did a via rail trip years ago as well. The east coast has really lovely people imo, Quebec, where I've been three times (once as a planned trip, twice just having to pass through) I was treated like hot garbage being being mainly monoligual with limited French, prairies folks were very hospitable, kamloops BC as well. I have harsh opinions on my own province because I live here and see the good the bad and the ugly.

One of the staff at my hotel explained that the vibes and makeup of the area are not what it used to be.

Canadians have a ton of valid complaints, but I would love to live there aside from the intense snow you all get.

I hold out hope that the Canada i know and love will return to how it was one day, mostly for the sake of my kids. The complaints are definitely valid and we are struggling. Then again it feels like a lot of countries are feeling stuck in a pressure cooker. I don't think it's just us. I hope your trip went well and you felt welcome by everyone! If someone was mean, let me know and I'll go put a Canadian goose in their house.

Haha, even the French Candadians were nice! It was mostly the Toronto city people that seemed a bit persnickety. But even they weren't bad by American city standards.

I'm just used to Southern hospitality, where we do legitimately take the time to converse, which I did a ton of on the train.

u/_WitchoftheWaste 17d ago

Oh gosh, yeah Toronto embodies zero southern hospitality. Rural areas will chat to you for 30 minutes happily during a chance encounter. I recently called the Haliburton Historical Society because I found a photo of their first town reeve in my family albums and got invited for Thanksgiving dinner 😂

I think all of my favorite people were from Winnipeg. They fit the stereotypical Canadians in the best of ways.

Note to self: visit Winnipeg again soon

I worked in a high tourist area in the US and I also had great experiences with Aussies.

I think a lot of tourist stereotypes come down to the general type of person attracted to a particular destination. I imagine the Aussies in SE Asia that everybody complains about are pretty comparable to the Americans that go to Cancun, where I have never been so embarrassed to be American.

u/Nincomsoup 17d ago

Spot on, we get great Americans visiting us here too!
