Canadianisms. It’s a Fact, Eh!
The Canadian 'accent' can be heard most easily in the
following words: out, about, house, and others with 'ou’.
In Toronto they pronounce the name of their city in a
peculiar way.
‘Eh’ is also often used by these Canadians as a
traditional greeting , a interrogative, etc.
Hey....!I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader,
and I don't live in an igloo or eat blubber, or own a dogsled,and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm
certain they're really, really nice.I have a Prime Minister, not a President.
I speak English and French, NOT American!and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
I KNOW THAT A TOQUE IS A HAT,A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!!CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS IN THE WORLD!

I was trying to deke out a deer, you see. Stupid
chinook, melted everything. And then a Mountie
snuck up behind me in a ghost car and gave me an
