    My favorite part of NL's Bellingham rivalry is he oscillates between going "I get it just because I'm a tourist doesn't mean they're gonna love me for spending money in their city" to being like "WITHOUT MY DOLLARS THIS PIGSTY WOULD GO INTO COMMERCIAL RUIN, OH FINE GUESS I'LL GO AWAY I DIDN'T WANNA PROP UP YOUR ECONOMY ANYWAY EFF ME I GUESS"

      and then on the flipside you have people going 30 northbound on i5 before the exit onto sunset/highway 542 when there's still another 1/8th a mile til the stoplight
      personally i don't tend to notice much of a distinction between canadian and washington drivers though, both tend to be equally as likely to be utterly clueless or incompetent in my experience
      don't even get me started on how poorly they programmed a solid 3rd of the stoplights here; lakeway is a mess, sunset is atrocious, and lucky for me those are the streets i have to drive on most frequently lol
