A rich story about a stolen Nova Scotia wheelbarrow, told in 2 pictures

Canadians are notorious for being kind, polite people -- maybe even a little too kind.

If you want to understand Canada's collective polite disposition in two photos, Twitter user Anna Scott has posted some photos taken by Andrew Killawee in Nova Scotia that pretty much sum it up.

It is the tale of a stolen wheelbarrow and its triumphant return.

Not only did the homeowner passively ask whoever stole their wheelbarrow to please return it with the politest, most non-confrontational sign, but then they actually thanked the thief for returning it. Oh, and the thief actually did returned it, probably after feeling guilted into it by this nice sign.

Yeah, this is pretty much Canada. Even the response to these signs are polite.

Are Canadians even capable of being mean or angry? We need evidence.
