If the crossword is any indicator of the national character, then Canadians really are as concerned about manners as we suspected.

26A “Unsympathetic”=CALLOUS
44A “Polite word of request”=PLEASE

Also, the answer REGAL has appeared twice in two days. That, along with the Queen’s presence at every financial transaction, makes me wonder if Canadians long for full reabsorption into the Empire.
