Banff -> Montereal -> Toronto

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

Visited canada a few days ago.

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.

Also Canada is beautiful!

It’s super strange for me to only drink bottled water/filtered abroad.

I’ve visited Peru and when I said to locals that we drink tap water directly they just didn’t believe. It was unthinkable to them. And the bottled water was not cheap there…

I’m Portuguese

So it’s more or less the same as mastodon… I had to move to another, bigger, instance to be able to see news and follow hashtags without a relay
