One thing I've never actually heard a Canadian say is "eh." Honest to god. Not ONE single Canadian I've ever met in my entire life has ever said that.

I say it frequently. As do most of the Canadians I know.

But do most of the Canadians you know say “twat”
as frequently as you do?

Depends on how many Americans they know.

She’s here all night, folks.

Try the veal.

other notable good chips are Roast chicken, smokey bacon, and sour cream N bacon. Not sure if jalapeno Cheetos are available south side but they are the best.

They are available and they are pretty good.
We have 50 million shifting varieties of Doritos that almost always suck.

zesty and nacho cheese doritos were the only ones i could eat. bad heartburn to boot. ha

They have guacamole Doritos now, apparently for a limited time. I tried them on the weekend, and they are GOOD! I'm going to maybe stock up on them if they're only available for a limited time!

Signal lights!

Canadians know what they are and how to use them.

Americans don't know they exist.

USA - about
CAN - aboowt - not a real thing, sorry.

Fixed a few things for you there.

I was comparing Texas to Quebec because both wish they were their own countries.
Cheese fries is the closest thing we have to covering fries in any type of sauce.
Aboowt is totally a real thing. I've heard it with my own ears.

Yes, A-Boot exists. Also "Sahturday". Also overuse 'hard' "A"s. It is possible it could be an Ontario/Golden Horseshoe thing. Watching CBC/CTV at times as well as countless trips to Canada all that happens. Two people here who deny it (I think) are in B.C. and Manitoba. I have some close friends in the Montreal area, spend some weekends with them every year, and their 'accent' isnt quite as pronounced as I see in Ontario/GTA/NF. I live where I can walk down the street and see Canada... and when I go elsewhere, and speak, people ask me if I am Canadian. I think people where I live and Minnesota are both infected. People/Americans blanket the accent on Canada because most media comes out of Toronto as it is kind of NYC and LA combined by scale as far as a media market.

Poutine is starting to infiltrate the USA. We have a specialty Poutine joint in Buffalo... and I was just in Disney and saw a packed Poutine stand. We also are completely over-run by Tim Hortons here.

Your list is pretty accurate IMO.

I went to a training seminar for work a few years back and two of the girls in our Brampton office also went. They kept talking about the prOcesses we were learning. Long o, like "pro" athlete. Every American I know (including me) says it with a short o, almost an "ah" sound. Like "prah-cess."

I don't think that's a national thing. I say it your way too.

The Cleveland accent is all nasally hard A's too.
When my wife went to college her friend circle was all from Cleveland, she called me after 2 days and she was already using nasal A's, I was shocked it happened so fast.
Any word like bad or sad turned into biaad and siaad.

We don't know that traffic signs exist either. Nor do we understand the right of way. And while I'm at it, the left lane is the "passing lane" which means pass and get the fuck back over. It's not the "fast lane" or the lane for you to cruise in while you go 10 under the speed limit. Drives me fuckin nuts.

"infected". LOL

we have entire restaurants devoted to just poutine now. and now a full Poutine Week where even non-poutine restaurants come up with their own concoctions to get people to come out.

Best poutine ever is still in Montreal. My health-concious wife even ate it with me every single day we were there.

At midnight.

After a pizza.

it's that fucking good.

MayDay10 · March 2018

I agree on the Montreal poutine (smoked meat too). Our place in Buffalo sucks. They try to make it 'gourmet' which just includes piling on all sorts of salty meats, jalapenos, corn, you name it. Just keep it simple with the gravy and cheese curd and call it a day.

That sounds more like Irish nachos.

PJ_Soul · March 2018

Irish nachos are great. I first had them in Seattle.

Best poutine I ever had was on Commercial Drive in Vancouver - it was Bison poutine. Very Canadian I suppose, lol.

The potato chip aisle at a Canadian supermarket is truly a wonder to behold.

What is that one flavour they have? "All Dressed" or something like that?

Just got a bag today! One of my favorites (or is it favourites?)!

I found these at Kroger. Damn they are good!!!

hauntingfamiliar · May 2018

I've heard about these!! Don't think they sell them here :i_dunno:

Thoughts_Arrive · June 2018

Just wondering, do Canadians say "mall" like the Americans or "shopping centre" like Aussies do?

both. the one close to me is called St Vital Shopping Centre, but when people talk about where they are going, they either shorted it to St Vital Mall or just "the mall".
