Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mexico has a high power distance culture which means that people expect to respect those in positions of authority and use formal titles to address them. By addressing your host by his first name, you disregarded his authority and showed disrespect according to his cultural norms. In contrast, Canada has a lower power distance culture where people address each other more informally, which may have caused the misunderstanding.
