I grew up by a lake in the bay area that was a very popular spot for Canadian geese, to the point they are considered a pest and have to clear them out every so often, and I currently go to UWaterloo. I can assure you that the geese behave very differently in these locations. I've had maybe two incidents with geese in the bay area, and that was just some hissing because I got too close. Here in Waterloo, I've seen them chase people for about a hundred yards on a few occasions, and lost count of how many times I've been hissed at or had them strike one of their aggression poses towards me, especially during nesting season. For whatever reason (I'm guessing something to do with nesting and migration patterns), they are definitely more aggressive here.
