Well, as you all know, we have some Canucks among us. I figured I would post a short Canadian-English Dictionary I came across in a very reliable source in order to dissipate some of the differences between us.
When a Canadian says: Air Canada
He means: United
When a Canadian says: Parliament
He means: Congress
When a Canadian says: Manitoba
He means: Texas
When a Canadian says: Wayne Gretsky
He means: Ken Griffey Jr.
When a Canadian says: Eh?
He means: What I just said, is it not true?
These are only a few, but it's a start, eh? Just remember, Canada may be the Maple Leaf State, but it almost seems like a whole other country.

Hey Check this out eh! www.neuvel.net/Audio%20files/molson-canadian-i-am%5B1%5D.movHey, I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader.... 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. A toque is a hat, a chesterfield is a couch, and it is pronounced 'zed' not 'zee', 'zed' !!!! Canada is the second largest landmass! The first nation of hockey! and the best part of North America My name is WILLS!! And I am Canadian!!! Lifted from a MOLSON CANADIAN beer comercial eh! |

I am sorry Wills, the greatest commercial ever pertaining to our neighbor to the North is the hockey commercial (maybe it's beer, I don't remember) with the 2 hockey fans talking to Guy LaFleure. Guy being pronounced 'Gee' and LaFleure being pronounced "La Flur".
Hockey fan 1: So, LaFluer, that's french for something tough, like a wolf, eh?
Guy: LaFleur means 'the flower'
::awkward silence::
Hockey Fan 2: But it's like a tough flower, like with thorns and stuff, eh?
