Is it rude not to tip in Canada?

Even though *legally* tipping is optional, to not leave a tip is a faux pas when you're getting table service in a restaurant in Canada. You leave a tip, it is expected. 15% is the norm in Canada, 20% if they exceeded your expectations, 10% if it was below par. No tip if it was despicable, rude, service.
