I don't know about that. I grew up in St. Albert where it's normal to say hi to total strangers on the sidewalk and when I moved to Calgary I got a lot of strange looks from people when I would try to do the same there. Now that I'm back in St. Albert I can go back to greeting total strangers.
I know Sainters wrote the exact same thing on the forum in a thread previously.
