    British politeness developed mostly so we didn’t turn our aggression inwards. Given how large the British empire got, it was quite effective.

    Canadians seem to have taken this further. Impeccably polite, but that rage needs to go somewhere. The only thing worse than an angry Canadian is a “disappointed” Canadian. That’s when you know you need to find cover!
