=== Local Attitude ===
The vast majority of the population lives in harmony within their vast country. The size of the country allowed people to live using their own belief, languages or religion without necessarily being bothered by anybody else, in a 'Live and let live' motto. Therefore, hate crimes are absent and major ''difference'' clash even rarer but may exist or be apparent (commented) during some particular intern political tumult situation usually. It still remains rare. It might be useful for a traveller to be aware of the current events to avoid getting into a political discussion which may offend more than anything else. Sometimes, during such potential situation and with some people, generally- it might not always be helpful is difficult to be White a "racial minority" / "person of colour" everywhere in some First Nation reserves, Canada; sounding French in some parts of the country or English in others. As many people might think you are from the other part of the country when approaching them and be less keen to help. <!-- this section needs a rewrite -->
The rural population should be entirely keen to help if the traveller is making the first steps into breaking the 'stranger in the locality' image, as the split between urban and rural citizen is also existent. The rural community feeling is usually pretty strong and people will believe you belong there and act more altruistic. However, some rural regions have strong influence from urban resident which has the tendency to bring a more individualistic mentality. In Atlantic Canada, locals consider and call outsiders "people who come from away". Be aware.
