Canadians have no spare time

Why is it that in India, you can knock on someone's door and they're happy to see you and want you to come in, or you can call a friend or relative and make spontaneous plans, and in Canada, everyone has to pencil you in for next week or next month? Are Canadians really that busy? The funny thing is that in Mumbai, for example, it takes hours to reach anywhere, so it's that much harder to just go out and meet people on the spot, but people do it. Here, it takes, like, 15 minutes to reach your destination, unless you're going out-of-town, and no one has time for anything, ever, unless they've planned it in advance.
