For all that we have in common with Americans, Canadians have one characteristic that likely helped us fall in line during this crisis; we tend to require more personal space than other cultures. This is partly due to the geography of Canada, an immense country in size that gives us a subconscious preference to be given as much space as possible. I believe this is also why we Canadians tend to reflexively say ‘sorry’ a thousand times daily, a byproduct of needing to maintain our physical distance from each other.
