What you are saying is and will continue to fall on deaf ears. For years I have been posting that non-Americans can have very different ways of looking at things and just because they are different they are not necessarily wrong or should be changed. This goes from simply they people are greeted and restaurant etiquette to outlook on life. France has had a long tradition of public protests (manifestations) being tolerated. All parties and the general public know what will happen and things will work out. We Americans, I can't speak for Canadians need to understand this and respect their way of thinking, just as we expect the same from them. It is sad that we go to a foreign land to experience something different and then expect things to be just as they are back home once we get there. Sad.
