In Canada we're halfway between American and European in level of friendliness/exuberance. A bit reserved but considered "nice" by the world, typically. So greet with hello's, take your shoes off automatically when entering someone's home, make idle chit chat when socializing (don't get into heated topics like politics unless prompted), and smiles are welcome and we don't "think the person's dumb or simple-minded" like in some countries. It's considered welcoming, that's it. But forget handshakes and hugs. That'd be going too far nowadays.
P. S. There's not really any such thing as 'Canadian food.' It's pretty standard fare. Leans towards a lot of fusion nowadays.

A group of tourists stop off for a bite to eat at llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch after a few failed attempts at saying it they beckon a staff member over and ask "this place we're in, can you pronounce it really slowly for us?"
The waitress replied " bur ger king"
Do's enjoy the beaches, drink the beer, sleep with locals.
Don'ts try and pronounce anything, call us English, shag the sheep.

I have a good one for when you're in Mexico...
don't be so mean or way too rude to staff and people who serve you (or just don't be that, at all) be careful with that... as you never know when someone from the cartels is next to you or near enough
seen something like happening that three times already, and it is not pretty... lol
Be careful at night if you are in a city with a democrat for a mayor.

Don't leave your stuff in the car, find out if the neighborhood is safe, stay away from crazy people, and go to highly rated restaurants. Depending on where you are, drink bottled water. Don't honk at people unless you are ready to fight. Find out if the area you are going to has COVID safety laws.
I literally googled this and it's hilarious 😂 Just be a normal human beging with manners and all is good, don't be unnecessarily mean and that's pretty much it
Iono but this is my current favorite song of his:
