Canadian and Russian People

Two days ago I was thinking about life in Toronto and I caught myself on interesting fact.

If you look at people who live in Toronto in general you can find that they are very kind. In contrast, generalizing people in Russia I can say they are angry. Why people in these two developed country are so different?
I lived in Russia for all my life and before I arrived in Canada I didn’t visit any other country. I saw how Canadian people are friendly from the first day in Toronto. I founded it in the airport, in every shop, on the street and lately at the York University. If someone doesn’t know how to get to some where, he or she can ask and any person will help with big pleasure. Usually, nobody will leave you alone with you trouble. Also, people can great you and ask how are you on the street even they don’t know you.
Like I said before, Russian people are angry; they look like they always have problems. They are often in aggressive moods and if you ask them about anything you will feel the same. Where do people behave this way? – Everywhere. For example, you can see it in an airport, in a cinema, especially in public transport. Some times you are afraid to ask somebody for help.
Often, I ask some people “Why?” and I agree with one opinion. Canadian and Russian people have different laws, different government and as a result different conditions of life. One of important requirement in people’s life is money. Minimum wage in Russia is much lower than in Canada. Russians are warring about their salary and that’s why they are aggressive.
