Christopher Moore Quote
Nate had been born and raised in British Columbia, and Canadians hate, above all things, to offend. It was part of the national consciousness. Be polite was an unwritten, unspoken rule, but ingrained into the psyche of an entire country. (Of course, as with any rule, there were exceptions: parts of Quebec, where people maintained the dismissive to the point of confrontation, with subsequent surrender mind-set of the French; and hockey, in which any Canadian may, with impunity, slam, pummel, elbow, smack, punch, body-check, and beat the shit out of, with sticks, any other human being, punctuated by profanities, name-calling, questioning parentage, and accusations of bestiality, usually-coincidentally- in French.)
