Polite

Just watched the second run of Regis and Kelly from P.E.I. One topic is the politeness of Canadians. I have my own take on that and this is absolutely true. When I'm in Springhill, thinking I might cross the street (j walking I guess you'd call it) ...I keep one eye on the traffic load but with my body I have to turn my back on the street and pretend I'm not going any place. If a passiing motorist get the slightest hint that I'm thinking about crossing, he'll hold up traffic behind and stop for me.
