Living in this place... It's hard to not come into contact with either stereotypes or, more commonly, those who live by them. I would say that each stereotype, is true about 35% of the time in all applied subjects, one way or the other. But then, this is by observation and observation from the standpoint of the human brain can encounter biases and prejudices. One might say, reinforced through synchronicity and through personal encounters.

The stereotypical compulsive saying of "eh" by Canadians, which was more than likely capitalized on in the manner of a running joke than it actually being a wide-spread practice. But it was marked possibly as being unique to Canada, nonetheless and sticks out in non-native people's heads when the think of Canadians. Numerous other people, besides Canadians, have said "eh"...but because of reinforcement it is now a decidedly Canadian thing to say.

I doubt the human race is so vast and varied that it can't all be summed up with one practice or feeling. As a species, we're as varied as the next, but don't expect too much.
