I find in general politeness Vancouver is just fine, but in terms of getting to know and meeting new people, Vancouverites are a little bit guarded. Might just be a characteristic of a bigger city, but I find the citizens of Calgary are just warmer towards meeting or hanging out with new people. Even at a couple places I've worked here in Vancouver it was hard to get people out for drinks and whatnot, or even organize a hockey pool (yes, that might be due to the fact that Canucks fans know nothing about hockey  ).
