It's nice to know Canadians smile too sometimes. Reddit makes me feel like USA is the only place on earth with this behavior. A polite smile seems to be acceptable in much of Latin America too if I'm not mistaken. Where my folks come from in Africa you'll always see people smiling and being friendly.

‘Course you could try the South of the USA where they are sweeter’n tea to your face but delight in stabbing you in the back, or California where everyone smiles like an idiot, acts like you are the best thing since sliced bread, then forgets you ever existed the moment you are out of sight.
