Yeah, I'm from Canada and I've been to Vancouver and hope and I have never heard someone say "eh" once.
I think people from Newfoundland do say eh, though.
Me neither. But I'm not from Quebec. So.Quote:

You to go a sugar shack in the woods where they make maple syrup. They boil it in big pot and then pour it on snow to cool. You pick it up with a little popsicle stick and roll it.Quote:

You can also eat a big lumberjack style breakfast with lots of eggs, pancakes, toast, bacon, beans and jugs of syrup. Most people pour the syrup on everything.
Oh whoops I didn't mean developers. I don't know, maybe "partakers"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_gaming_in_CanadaQuote:

It seems it is the wacky french half of Canada that attracts all the stereotypes. Western Canada is pretty normal by comparison.
I blame my spelling mistake on being French! Thereby proving your stereotype!Quote:
