Canadians are a pretty diverse people. Some are perhaps more restrained in their style of communication than some Americans, but there's lots of exceptions to that rule (eg Howie Mandel, the quiz show host, and Paul Schaffer, Letterman's band leader, etc)

I think what's more likely is that people have different personalities, and Miriam's personality is not emotional in nature. But that doesn't make her a phony.

I don't think her body language and vocal delivery should be the focus of people's assessment of her veracity.

In my opinion, people should evaluate her message.

I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt. I believe she had the experiences she describes. It is possible she has been fooled as to the real motivations of the ETs she interacted with, but I don't think she's a phony.
