Where did the “Canadians are afraid of the dark” stereotype originate? (to move, title)

Driving in Canada at night and seeing how over-lit Canadian towns are at night....maybe that is where it started??

In any case, you've just proven my own points and answered your own question.

Bye bye now.

And on dude ranches in the mountains in Colorado and Montana too.

Those over-lit towns at night are intended to block out the northern lights and to discourage the polar bears and sasquatches from hitting the pubs at night. It doesn't work though, the critters still like to roll into towns at night and be the life of the party.

Never heard this one. All winter long, I looked out the window and saw people ice fishing at night, and ski-doos were zipping across the lake at all hours. Don't recall any screams of fear.

I saw a Sasquatch with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Richmond in the rain

There’s a show called Are You Afraid of the Dark? I remember it from back in the 90’s, though I haven’t seen it since.

Sounds fishy to me. Never heard of it.

Trolling - a fishing technique of slowly dragging a lure or baited hook from a moving boat

Careful there; - - I once got sanctioned by guess who for using that exact description quote.
