Canadians are generally a friendly bunch and most are close to their families even if part of the family is in St. John's and the other part in Vancouver Island five and a half time zones away. Many families get together at Christmas and at Thanksgiving, the big "family" times. Asian Canadians, Italian Canadians and Portuguese Canadians tend to have closer families. In general, people in rural areas and small towns are friendly and open ... Newfies and Stubblejumpers (Saskatchewan folk) are great ... but in the GTA and Calgary and Vancouver they are a lot like the worst Londoners. First Nations people are very big on family, even with all the problems on reserves. But I do remember that times were different when I was young and in England ... I like to think it was better, but I may be wrong. Perhaps we are going thro a period of social change that will hopefully lead to a new, yet different stability.
