Sometimes we do things a little differently in Canada than people do in other countries.
For example, we tend to be a little hard on our homegrown Good Samaritans.
A British Columbia man came upon a serious car crash Friday and stopped, got out of his car and offered to help. But instead of thanking him, the driver of one of the cars involved and his passenger, got in the Good Samaritan’s car and drove away, the man’s wallet still on the front seat.
However, being Canadian, the man whose car was stolen is not discouraged by the incident and vows to help out the next person who needs him.
It takes more than having your car stolen by someone you stopped to help to make a Canadian stop being nice.
I just bet the Good Samaritan worried that he forgot to fill up his gas tank and that the thieves would get stranded on the side of the road. On the bright side, if that happened and he encountered them as he was walking home, I am sure he would have stopped to help.
