It's pretty hard to stereotype two nations as large as ours. Canada has the second largest land mass in the world so there are bound to be profound regional variations in population 'cultures' and customs. The US has over 300 million people and is fairly vast in itself, so ditto.
Some Canadians might say 'aboot', but I don't know any. We don't all use eh? at the end of every sentence any more than every American uses y'all instead of you yet the impression persists. Even the time of year can play a role. I live in a town where we get overrun by tourii every summer. That really pisses some people off so they get cranky. When they get cranky the tourii get cranky and each thinks the other is being a ******. Good days, bad days...
