I'm in Middle Sackville, NS just outside Halifax? Where in NB are you? I know a fellow COG member in Moncton.
At the Rhode Island spring rally last week, we had a contingent of 5 Canadians if I'm not mistaken.

BDF said:That is true- I walked up to a group of folks in the hotel parking lot only to realize they were all speaking Canadian. The giveaway is always words like 'A-boot' when they really mean 'about'. Not to mention the 'A's all over the place. Why they use those as frequently as we in RI [do not use] 'R's. Maybe it is some kind of cosmic letter balance act?

Brian:
We did not, in fact, invent the "eh" word." It was brought over the pond -- perhaps unknowingly -- by boat-loads of Brits. My mother, who was from Southeast London, and my father, who hailed from Huncoat in Lancashire, were frequent users of the word.
There is a difference, though, between how the Brits. use the word and how the Canadians use the word. The Brits. generally use it a verbal question mark, either to get someone to repeat what they just said (because they couldn't quite hear it), or to indicate that they don't understand -- or believe -- what somebody just said ("Eh ... a man with three buttocks?").
Now, we lumberjacks up here, we use eh to express approval and satisfaction ("Beauty day, eh?" ... Vancouver for the Cup, eh?"), or, in some instances, utter dissatisfaction ("Conrad Black, what a hoser, eh!?").
Gotta go, my "chowda" is gettin' cold, eh? ...
