As a Canadian who lives in the US, I actually think this is playing a large role. When I was growing up, 15% was considered "good" and customary. In the US, that's basically the minimum and the expectation is higher (18-25%). Canadians have a reputation of being poor tippers in the US for this precise reason. Coupling the COVID tip creep with the American expectation has been a double whammy for Canadians.
