EP05 | The Quiet Pride: Politeness, Pucks, and Patriotism

Welcome back to The Nickel Perspective.When you first move to the Great White North, the first thing that hits you—after the freezing wind, of course—is the world-famous Canadian politeness. But is this constant stream of "Sorrys" and "Thank yous" a sign of weakness? Absolutely not.In this episode, we dive beneath the surface of Canadian manners to explore a different side of the country: its quiet, fierce patriotism. We discuss how Canadians show an unbreakable backbone when bullied, why the politest people turn into absolute maniacs during a hockey game, and how the Toronto Blue Jays became a giant campfire for 40 million people.If you can't be friends with Canada, you probably can't be friends with anyone. Tune in to find out why.
