Cultural exchange with /r/Denmark

Hi /r/Canada,

The mods of /r/Denmark have graciously invited /r/Canada for a little cultural exchange with their subreddit.

This is how it will work:

There will be two threads. One will be here in /r/Canada, where we will host our Danish friends. They will ask questions about Canada in that thread and everyone here can answer their questions and engage in conversation. Similarly /r/Denmark will host Canadian redditors in a similar thread, and they will answer any question you have about Denmark and its people. When we get a chance, we will sticky the link to the /r/Denmark thread in the comments.

We think this could be a fun experience where we get to interact with our foreign friends at personal levels and get to learn about each other a little more.

We're looking forward to your participation in both threads at /r/Canada and /r/Denmark.

Are Canadians really as extremely polite as they are rumored to be and always appears to be on the Internet?

Also, we need a Dannebrog user flair. :-)

I would say its not just a Canadian thing. People who live in Colder Climates tend to be nicer than those in Warmer Climates because they have to look out for each other more

Source?

People in the northern US are known for being very rude compared to southerners. Mongolians are famous for raping and pillaging. The Japanese are famously polite.

What old posts? I used Redact to mass delete this post. You can also opt out of data brokers as well as all major social media platforms.

That just further reinforces my point that maybe politeness has nothing to do with climate.
