In certain parts of Canada,  folks aren't keen on any doctor who's a 'come-from-away' (i.e. from big bad Ontario).  
The discrimination goes waaaay beyond skin colour.  
But those same folks know how to spread propaganda like nobody's business, and it goes like this, "We're SOOOOOOO friendly."  
You don't have to make up your own mind about their so-called 'friendliness'; they'll make sure to tell you about it.
