This works the same way as the other "Ask a..." threads.

That ISN'T a question! *POKE*

Why do you say "eh" all the time?

It sounds more intelligent than "huh". ;)

Then why does "Eh?" sound more like an old man straining to hear. While "huh?" sounds more like a stoned teen in a classroom.

Because it confuses the hell out of people.

Consider...

Person1: I'm going to the AAA meeting.
Person2: AAA eh?
Person1: Yeah, AAA eh, eh!
etc...

it has potential to start very amusing conversations.

ya, we also dont say " a boot" we say "about" and it's zed, not zee!!!!!! we have a prime minister not a president. our money looks like a mix of animal crackers and monopoly!!!!!!! a couch is a chesterfield and the beaver is a truly proud and noble animal!!!!! My name is joe and i am Canadian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (actually my name is't joe, and i ripped this off a molson canadian commercial, and it isn't a good rip off at that. But i am Canadian!!!!!)

The beaver is nothing but a fat water rat whose noblest trait is slapping its tail on the water to warn its buddies of trouble and hiding in the dam - hey! That sounds like the Liberal government!

i am truly sorry :)

I say 'eh' just to feed the steriotype.

ya, that does sound like the liberals............. and Gordon Camble :D !!!!!!!!! oh well at least we have hockey! oh hats right, they r on strike :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

That's why I do as well...eh!!

Give me a C, eh? Give me an N, eh? Give me a D, eh? What's that spell? CANADA! Yay, eh?

Cambell is just a drunken moron. But then again, at least he isn't a spineless patsy like Dalton McQuinty - damn provincial Liberals, just as corrupt and worthless as the federal Liberals!

And the lack of hockey sucks, though I can't say I'll be missing Don Cherry.

Give me a C, eh? Give me an N, eh? Give me a D, eh? What's that spell? CANADA! Yay, eh?

thats a good one eh. Lets go hunt some moose and then go back to our igloo and drink our beer

Canuck fan, eh?

I cheer for all Canadian hockey teams except the Ottawa Sentors - they can basically go jump off a cliff. I'm a major Toronto Maple Leafs fan, but I always cheer for the Canucks, Flames, Oilers and the Habs.

Go Canucks Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go BERTUZZI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yah!!!!!!! :P

I have a question for Canadians:

Could you explain to me in detail how your school systems work? They seem similar to America's schools in structure, but I'm sure there's a lot of differences.

Hey now!! Watch what you are saying about Canada's Team!!

Liberals will be okay now that we have Ken Dryden. I can see his future desk emblazoned with the slogan:

THE PUCK STOPS HERE!!

I'm from Ontario, so I can only talk to the one here.

Now, we have a standard structure, kindergarten to grade 12. We used to have grade 13 (OAC), but former provincial premier Mike Harris decided we didn't need it any more.

We have a lot of standardized testing, and the text books used are the same all across the province for each grade, so, if you transfer schools in the province, you are likely going to be at the same spot in the same text.

Anyway, colleges and universities are different. Our universities are very challenging and hard to get a scholarship from. Getting in is fairly challenging compared to getting into college.

College here is a place for a practical education, good for people wanting skills that will get them a job in a short period of time; university is more for an academic education, best for people going into fields such as medicine, law and teaching.

From high school, you can get into euither, but university is an academic level about college.

The word "eh" is built into every Canadians genes.

Im suprised no one has asked us why our beer is sooooo great! :D

It must be those cold Canadian winters that make it so good!

So you were down at tim horton's getting a double-double eh?

Haha I lives in Canada... not Canadian but I live here.

Canada is a funny, if not annoying place!

There is no progressive vision for the future in out country. The liberals only care about following teh polls long enough to stay in power and line their pockets, they've lost the true soul of the original party under Laurier and later under King.

All the other parties are too fragmented, petty or scary to form a truly effective opposition.

*sigh*

How come we can't call you Canadia?

How come we can't call you Canadia?
Because some asshole running the government decided that it would be Canada.

What's the best Canadian beer?

That easy, Molson, it's the only large beer marker in Canada that isn't own by a larger company over sea. (e.g. La batt blue is owned by a european company).

Because some asshole running the government decided that it would be Canada.

Because "Canada" means village in (I can't quite recall the exact tribe) aboriginal. It's part of our history.

I do find it ironic that you hate the Liberals and love the Toronto maple leafs.
reason being of course.. hehe. The Toronto "make believes" haven't won a cup since 1967 and it's going to be just as long if not longer before a federal conservative government ever wins in Canada. :P

Go Sens!!!

Edmonton was the last team from Canada to win the Stanley Cup in '91, although Vancouver was in the finals in '94 and Calgary in '04. I'm a huge Oilers fan anyway and I love having that leverage. Oh wait, dammit it was those blasted Canadians in '93.
