For us - and maybe in Canada we’re just super soft and squishy as a people … but the way they treat crew typically. There’s also film jargon they’ll use that throws us through a loop (circus - Canada / base camp - America).

This isn’t a blanket truth though as I’ve worked with many absolute garbage humans as assistant directors who are Canadian and shouldn’t be in the industry.

But while working with James Gunn on Peacemaker we had Lars Winther (marvel 1st AD). Two big Hollywood Americans, and their style of things while I won’t say bad was definitely different than what I’d experienced previously. Gruff, blunt, and enjoyed strong language lol. Generally it’s a different vibe they give off - but as I said I’ve met some Canadian ADs who you just want to toss out an airlock.
