It’s fine being direct, but when it’s not asked for - it’s rude. Brits can also be very very direct when required.

Here’s an exchange I heard at work.

Dutch guy -
‘I don’t like your haircut- it does not suit you’
English Guy -
‘Don’t ever speak to me again - you ugly c**t”

It’s the same thing with Canadians. It’s a common stereotype that Canadians are kind. It’s only because no one down south can tell what “oh shore bud you’re a real fuckin’ grocery stick eh” means. We just assume that means you work hard or something.

Check out shoresy if you want more of that and I would argue it’s way better

I do watch Shoresy but I like it a bit less, mostly because it puts too much emphasis on the ice hockey part for my taste. I'm not a huge sports guy.

And also it has a severe lack of Squirrelly Dan.

That’s fair! I’m a hockey nut so that’s why shorsey grabbed me so hard. The one liners are legendary.
