Canadians make light of themselves all the time. Americans are not really "known" for critical self reflection, the opposite maybe.
Just look at the slew of jokes about traveling abroad and claiming to be Canadian.
Now if you want to see Canadian "politeness" in action, read the comment section on CBC.

- kcplate 3y ago> Now if you want to see Canadian "politeness" in action… In my experience Canadians are quite polite to other Canadians, but not necessarily to non-Canadians
- iinnPP 3y agoPeople who are polite don't discriminate based on silly lines on a map or anything based on appearance or even invisible traits. The CBC comment section is more toxic than the birth child of a terrible subreddit and the worst 1000 games of League of Legends.
- gumballindie 3y agoTo be fair comment sections everywhere are toxic regardless of country or culture.
- iinnPP 3y agoI find it to be the most toxic comment section I have come across. I also see the moderated comments, which just make it worse. From supposedly polite Canadians.
- gumballindie 3y agoWhatever you do dont read the dailymail (uk) comment section and dont attempt to translate the comment section of any non english speaking european tabloid.
- ojhughes 3y ago50% of the daily mail commenters seem to be Americans
- kcplate 3y agoI think there is a bit of a noun and verb confusion here to my comment. An impolite person can occasionally act polite to others in certain circumstances, including due to silly lines on a map, or due to invisible traits. Perhaps the opposite of that is not true—a polite person is never impolite, which is what I think you are describing.
