1) Glad you could make it! Grab a double-double and we’ll chat.
2) Double-double? Oh, two shots of espresso?
The visitor is already confused by Canadian slang. This sets the tone for more cultural missteps
Šmykľavka: 2
1) Here’s my offer. I think your pricing is ridiculous and your team is way to slow
2) (awkwardly) Oh...uh...we usually ease into things with a little small talk first.
Canadians are known for being polite and indirect; jumping into criticism right away can feel rude

1) So when do we sign? I’ve drafted the agreement; just need your signature
2) Oh, we’ll circle back after a few more chats. Maybe loop in a few more folks first.
The visitor expects to close the deal immediately. The Canadian prefers consensus-building and polite delay, which throws the visitor off.

2) Whoa! Let’s stick with a handshake. That’s more our style.
!) This is great! I can’t wait to tell my team. Let’s seal it with a hug!
The visitor breaks unspoken Canadian norms about personal space and physical boundaries. Awkward!
Šmykľavka: 5
2) You’re catching on! Next up, you’ll be paying “eh” at the end of every sentence.
1) Okay... so it’s double-double, handshake only, and a million polite meetings before we sign?
The visitor realizes they’ve misunderstood Canadian culture; but it’s learning to adapt. It’s a lighthearted, culturally rich ending.
