I believe you are wrong....The youngest daughter was living in Toronto studying to be a chef...I am sure it was not the first time they were in Toronto...The question asked by the woman was obscure...Even I who live in the city could not give an answer....It was impossible that the Americans could respond...No....there were no assumptions made...it was the word the phrase "They are Americans" that made grandmas eyes bulge in embarrassment...They just wanted to fit into the Canadian landscape...they were on their way to the museum - They really liked Toronto....Jokingly I asked if they had brought their guns...Grandma smiled and said..."No- we left them at home".... Our conversation lasted almost half an hour....The impression I got was that these Texans wished America was a little more Canadian.
The other thing that came up on it's own regarding law and order...was the fact that Texas executes far to many people....The older woman thought that was something to be ashamed of.
If this is true, which is highly unlikely, then I feel sorry for these people. So sad that they peg their humanity on the country in which they live. This, or they have very low self esteem.

then you lied in the post i quoted, or you are lying now. you said they were american tourists, you didnt say anything about one of them living there. and about the question asked, perhaps they DID know the answer and you again made assumptions that were NOT true. and perhaps the grandmother was upset that you were making the assumption based on the fact they were american. you are the one that is and was wrong.
Except they have strict standards on who they let in, I'd hazard a guess that many American's wouldn't pass.
