also i don't know anyone who uses "eh" frequently, and when they do it's not like american's show it on tv.

Oh yes, and quebec is the devil. And I must go there. With two teachers, who are also the devil. This is why quebec is the devil

Ahh, well then you can come to Saskatchewan instead. It's always nice and warm here.

HA! At least in BC when it gets cold, we can go huddle under a mountain. But can you do that in Saskatchewan? Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Speaking of stereotypes. I just watched Canadian Bacon, a Michael Moore movie with John Candy. They used just about every stereotype there is about Canadians and Americans.
Man, I love that movie. *smiles while remembering the cops at the bridge telling people to jump...

But people around here usually say 'Eh' at the end of their sentences, although not a lot say 'Aboot' or anything. But the thing is, a lot of the people who use these "phrases" are actually immigrants who'd just come here just a short while before.
