Canadians are very very polite, which is NOT the same as nice or friendly. As a Canadian, I'd say Americans are waaay nicer and friendlier, sometimes aggressively so, which is why they seem pushy or impolite to Canadians and Brits.From an outsider’s perspective, most Canadians are uncommonly friendly. You may not notice it as much because you live there and so don’t see the contrast as starkly. That’s not to say they don’t internally think everyone else is an asshat, but that “surface” nice you speak of isn’t universal. As far as Western cultures go (and many non-Western cultures I’ve experienced but I have less to compare there), they’re definitely among the most friendly, polite and considerate, which is why it’s hilarious whenever Chantal goes off on a tirade about how other cultures are better. Projection thy name is Chantal.
However, very few Canadians are as disgustingly selfish and cruel as Chantal. And her insistence that foreign men are friendlier than Canadians reminds me of her telling Bibi that Canadian families and couples don't eat together. Of course they do! And Canadians night not be as immediately warm and friendly as Americans or people from tropical countries (Newfoundland notwithstanding), but they're loving to their actual friends and families.
Canadians aren't friendly to Chantal because she's a smelly bitch. When they're polite to her, like service workers, she thinks they're hot for her. She's a nutcase.
