Canada has a reputation globally for its friendly inhabitants, but is one city friendlier than another? People have been debating the question online and it looks like there’s a clear winner.

In a thread posted to Reddit on Monday titled “First impression of Calgary – why is everyone so nice and pleasant?” people couldn’t seem to stop gushing over the city’s uniquely outgoing nature.

Many compared their experiences of moving from other major Canadian cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg, saying the shift was noticeable and “really weird.”
