I thought that the people would be super nice, in my experience they don’t.
People working in tourism are super friendly but we felt that the people are super harsh with tourists.
We even had a group of kids saying out loud “I don’t like people with big backpacks” (And no my backpack was not touching them or on a seat) or a security officer saying that he does not work on the information department so he was not helping us.
I have family there and I got to meet some incredible people but I felt that they were super hash sometimes.
If you’re a white dude in a white country, you don’t have any idea what it’s like. My incident was super minor (being denied access to a restaurant) but it gave me a teeny peek into what life must be like for some people.
Just got back from Canada and I had the same experience. The workers were really friendly, but everyone else was kind of assholes. Felt like I was back in LA with everyone having their head up their own asses. Shocked me cause I always hear how friendly Canadians are.
And the food is super bland, but the country is gorgeous and the weather was great

Also Canada is beautiful!
Canada is very big. Come to the east coast! Not that we don’t have assholes.
Actually experiencing racism in Japan.

It was the first time that I’ve experience this kind of comments. I’m a tallish white male and I was confused as Canadian sometimes during this trip
Where in Canada did you visit?
Banff -> Montereal -> Toronto
