Hahaha. I just saw on Katie's blog about the Canadian stereotype of the "eh", but I thought it was more of an "aaye"? I don't know where that came from, I wonder if one guy happened to say it and then it stuck? Its like for us, with the "yous guys", well people actually say that, because my husband says it and his friend, they're both from Pennsylvania and apparently thats normal there. I only say it to make fun of them, but when he friend sees me after a while, he's like "hey, how yous doing?" I'm like, thats not even close to correct since I am only ONE person. And "y'all", well we do say y'all because I say it and lot of people do too!
There is a joke that your Army is made up of Canadian Geese, which seems a little ridiculous if you ask me. They don't even have thumbs. .... LMAOOOO!!!
I would also like to talk about those geese. We have a TON of them here, do they actually live in Canada? Because there are a lot of them here and they're breeding here so the offspring are "naturalized citizens", haha. Anyway, they're protected here because they're "borrowed" geese or whatever. Its like a $10,000 fine to kill them. Not that I'm killing them or anything, but you get in big trouble if you get caught killing them or even if you hit one with your car and don't call the police its like a hit-and-run-goose-assault-with-a-vehicle. They're special to us. haha. Actually I quite like them, except they're loud and a little mean.
Geese do live in Canada, and I don't care much for them! They poop everywhere
Well, in Canada you guys have better health care than we do, lol. But I wouldn't come there if I were, say...running away from the draft here. I would go to Mexico. Its warmer and I have a better chance of growing crops rather than freezing my ass off. lmao. (but shhhh don't tell anyone I would go to Mexico! You're not supposed to dodge the draft)
Sorry, just went on a crazy Canada thing. I don't talk about Canada much, I guess because its pretty neutral. And who really has a problem with Canada? No one, thats who.
Oh I meant to ask you in the middle of that rambling on, if you are in a French speaking area of Canada? Do you speak French?
I do not live in a French speaking area of Canada, it's mostly just Quebec that speaks French and it's not that close to real French. Atleast in France they don't think so. My Luke speaks fluent French that he learned in Belgium and he makes fun of Canadian French which is also known as Quebecois.... All his snotty friends from Belgium all make fun of my accent
lol!
I think that part of Canada is pretty cool, being in the mostly French speaking part and still speaking English too, being bi-lingual from birth I guess. Here, its English and then slang English because people like to chew up the English language and dribble it out in the form of...ebonics. Yes, I went there. I hate it. And now I'm definitely done before I get HIGHLY inappropriate.
I would really have to agree with you on that one... I think the English language is destroyed and it's really a shame!!
Do you know the Canadian anthem and do you like hockey? Because I personally LOVE hockey.
I do know the Canadian anthem, it's required in schools and is sang every morning... Good Ol' Canadians EH?
Also, I do enjoy hockey, I used to enjoy it more until the Toronto Maple Leafs started to SUCK and then the lock out or whatever happened last year just kind of ruined it..
Anyways, hope this answers all of your Canada questions LOL feel free to ask any more
