Just wanna verify something. Are Canadians exclusively known for using the word "eh?" at the end of their sentences? eh?

My ex totally used to dig on me for saying it, but he would always say it in the wrong context, much like you did lol. It's used for justification or clairfication on a statement. I.E) That was a great party eh? I know eh? She was hot eh?

I think people from Minnesotta(sp?) and Wisconsin use "eh" as well.Watch Strange Brew, a great movie with plenty of ''eh"'s.

What's round bacon? I can't speak for all Canadians but I don't think Americans are hated. Actually, Canadians can easily relate to americans. Their lifestyles are very similar compared to many countries.

I'm just playing around. I was in Toronto a couple summers ago. I fucking loved it! The people were great...the city was unlike any dumpy city in the U.S.
It just totally rocked!
That's the only Province I can speak for. Haven't been anywhere else.

Quebec City is nice. I like Toronto too but I was really young when I went there. Ottawa is great, and there's a lot of action in Montreal. Haven't been to the west but I have the feeling I'm not missing much except for British Columbia.

Calgary is the best city in the country. Just big enough but not to big, clean, not to hot not to cold...it's fuckin perfect. I hate B.C, loved the maritimes and if the economy wasn't so bad that's where i would be in a heartbeat. I've lived in 6 provinces and have to say i love this country over all.

Our dollar is a bit better but only looks better cause yours is lower. Generally it all depends on where you live, like anywhere. Out west for example (Alberta) there is no provincal sales tax. They only pay g.s.t (goods & services tax), due to this the cost of living is lower, but so is the minimum wage. Where as out east, fewer jobs due to the fishing industry being hard hit, which then cause cost of living to go up, but raises minimum wage. But if there are no jobs, that really means shit.
