The most common stereotype of people from the great white north land of Canada is that they are nice, polite, and apologetic to a fault, with American works depicting Canada as a Quirky Neighbor Country. Not these people. Some Canadians brush off the pleasantries, have no time to talk aboot the weather or any other small talk. In fact, they're just as cold as their weather, and don't give deux merdes about politeness, their apologies have a snarky tone to them, more so when interacting with their Yankee neighbors, Heaven forbid if they're mistaken for their Yankee neighbors, and they are The Dreaded in the likes of ice hockey or warfare by their rivals. Double points if they're from Quebecnote usually downplayed in French media when French-Canadians show up, as the accent sounds inherently silly rather than crass to metropolitan French speakers or Alberta, as both tend to be stereotyped as a Lower-Class Lout region similarly to America's Deep South. Of course, being a rude Canadian doesn't necessarily mean evil; they can be honest and can see the bullcrap, with a passive-aggressive or Affably Evil Canadian being a foil to the character. Part of Stereotype Flip, flipping Courteous Canadian in particular. See also Evil Brit, "Ugly American" Stereotype, The Bogan, Violent Glaswegian, Dublin Skanger, Northern Irish and Nasty, Football Hooligans, London Gangster, The Yardies, Brooklyn Rage, Half-Witted Hillbilly, The Irish Mob, Small-Town Tyrant, The Quincy Punk and Amoral Afrikaner for more nasties in the Anglosphere. For non-anglospherical variants, there's The Idiot from Osaka, the French Jerk, and Asian Rudeness. |

The first Black Cat opens with protagonist Catherine, a college dropout and drifter, crashing into a Canadian bar where she has an unfortunate run-in with an uncouth, oversized local trucker. Things get ugly when the trucker tries flirting with her, only for Catherine's rejection to lead to an Attempted Rape and Catherine killing him in self-defense. | |

Grand Theft Auto V has Trevor Philips, a Canadian career criminal and former bank robber. If he's not running his own organization, and fighting with rival gangs and syndicates, Trevor would be picked up by Michael for their adventures, and his desires and motivations are mostly paid off with violence. Also, for the record, Don't call him Canadian within earshot unless you have your last will and funeral plans handy. | |

An episode of King of the Hill titled "Uh Oh, Canada", in which a Canadian couple house-swaps with Boomhauer, depicts said Canadian neighbors as this. They are incredibly rude and condescending, constantly talking down on Hank and company in a very smug and passive-aggressive manner, and the husband, in particular, has an extreme case of Misplaced Nationalism that makes Hank's Patriotic Fervor look downright sensible. When they leave, everyone in the neighborhood is glad to see them go. | |

Wolverine: Wolverine is a prime example, bub. Born from Cold Lake, Alberta, he's short, gruff, unpredictable, violent, and untrusting of authority, yet he's the best there is at what he does, and what he does best isn't very nice. Possibly an even cruder and more violent Canadian than Wolverine is his Arch-Enemy Sabretooth. Like Logan, Sabretooth is a mutant with enhanced senses, prominent claws, a Healing Factor, and he can go into murderous rages. Unlike Logan, however, who tries really hard to suppress his berserker rage, Sabretooth embraces his animalistic nature, and deliberately does anything he can to be as violent and evil as possible, including murder, rape, and cannibalism. Additionally, just to make his enmity with Wolverine even more personal, every year on Logan's birthday, Sabretooth visits him just to hurt someone he cares about and make his life even more miserable. |

Far Cry 6: Sean McKay, AKA "The Yanqui", the only non-Yaran of the main villains, is a greedy businessman who works for Anton Castillo by shipping Viviro out of Yara for him (when he's not being an Arms Dealer instead). Despite his nickname, McKay is actually from Canada, not America, but he's not polite or friendly, and if anything, he's even more evil than Anton himself. A Fat Bastard of a Smug Snake, and a shameless opportunist to boot, he's prone to casually swearing, displays traces of bigotry (making snide comments about ponchos to the Yaran Dani, calling Libertad "Libertards", and interrupting and talking over his own ally Admiral Ana Benitez), and according to background notes, he abuses his daughters and his wife and raped and impregnated a pre-teen Yaran girl. To make things worse, McKay is the one who develops the PG240X (the "Poison" used to grow Viviro) into chemical weapons, which he infamously uses to kill Jonron and El Tigre, and he afterwards asks if his victim's brains melted out of their nostrils and ears when they died. Possibly the only quality of McKay's that comes even remotely close to redeeming is that he knows he's a monster, and doesn't try to hide it, as we see in this dialogue between him and Dani Rojas: | |

SCTV The characters of Bob and Doug McKenzie were created by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas in response to the CBC's demand for Canadian content on the sketch show. The hockey and beer-obsessed brothers are dim-witted, to say the least. They also became super popular and starred in their own film (see above). | |

Letterkenny: In the small Ontario town of Letterkenny, the main characters, made up of farmers, drug addicts, and hockey players, are constantly "chirping" at each other with colorful insults when they aren't all-out brawling. See the first scene of the first episode for a prime example. | |

Punch-Out!!: Downplayed with Bear Hugger, who is a Canadian boxer who chops wood, fights bears in his free time, and is a Big Fun guy towards Little Mac when he's not in the ring. But when he steps on the ring, he's about as bearlike as his name and lifestyle would imply, being a Big Eater and a big sleeper who scratches his back on the ring post, belches into the camera, taunts Little Mac like a schoolyard bully, and speaks most of his lines in a boisterous guffaw. He also packs a real wallop when he fights, with his signature move being a Killer Bear Hug. | |

Spinnerette: Captain Alberta is a hydro-kinetic superhero inspired by Wolverine, but a whole lot more misanthropic, alcoholic and sexist, to the point he first appears as a member of the Canadian League of Superheroes mentioning he went through court-appointed therapy and, when it's clear he refused to change his ways, is fired and becomes a recurring foe of the League, seeking to humiliate them and post videos of them allegedly behaving badly (read: Police Brutality) on social media. His only saving grace is that he remains a staunch patriot regardless, and when he is told that he was hired to be a distraction for a villain aiming to wreck Canada's economy he immediately gives up his employer. | |

The main characters in Trailer Park Boys are a trio of Nova Scotian Lower Class Louts, who make a living out of selling drugs. Of the three, Ricky is by far the most vulgar, selfish, abrasive, Hot-Blooded, and picking on other residents of the trailer park. Julian has a chip on his shoulder and can be unpleasant when doing illegal activity. And their Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, Jim Lahey the park supervisor, is a vindictive alcoholic willing to arrest them for the pettiest reasons, make Ricky literally kiss his ass in public after failing to win a bet, and is constantly going on long-winded tangents that include repeated insertions of the word "shit". | |

Dumbing of Age: Ruth Lessick was born and raised in Canada and immigrated to the States after her parents' death. She is nicknamed "Ruthless" because she starts off as a terrifying resident assistant, verbally abusing the dorm residents, antagonizing anyone who slights her, and giving out copious threats of violence. She eventually gets better after working through her mental health issues, but she's still abrasive at best. | |

South Park: Terrence and Phillip are a foul-mouthed, irreverent Canadian comedy duo whom the four main boys adore. Their female counterparts the Queef Sisters are equally vulgar, though it's only the male gender that takes offense to their brand of comedy. The Prince of Canada and his wife are attention whores who give Kyle all sorts of grief, with the Prince going as far as exposing himself. |

"Canadian Idiot" by "Weird Al" Yankovic plays with the trope. The song is from the perspective of an ignorant American making disparaging remarks about stereotypical Canadians, such as referring to them as "beer-swilling hockey nuts" and stating that Canadians "all live on donuts and moose meat". Towards the end of the song, the narrator suggests that Canadians' politeness must mean that they're actually just up to something and that it's time for a pre-emptive strike. | |

Downplayed with Robin Scherbatsky of How I Met Your Mother. Coming from being raised as a boy and her disillusionment of being a teen idol in the vein of Alanis Morissette, she is cold and aloof, has no time or care for flattery, gets annoyed when she is made fun of her Canadian background, focuses more on her career over romance, is The Lad-ette of the gang, a Gun Nut, and constantly screams at the bubbly and nice Patrice. Yet this demeanor makes the mild-mannered and pretentious Ted Mosby completely head over heels for her throughout the series. | |
