Why Do Canadians Say ‘Eh’?
Re: Why Do Canadians Say ‘Eh’?
Everybody I know calls IT gas. I've never heard anyone call it petro. There's a brand called Petro Canada.
I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

Re: Why Do Canadians Say ‘Eh’?
Also "Esso" gas!!

Admiral gas has a different bird logo than the U.S.A.!!
Re: Why Do Canadians Say ‘Eh’?
Some of the Esso stations here have been rebronding as Mobil.
Admiral is one I've never seen.

Re: Why Do Canadians Say ‘Eh’?
The Yooper accent is very close to the Canadian accent.
In addition, when I worked in the escalated call center, people from down south always thought I was from Canada. I tend to use shorter vowels when I am speaking in my professional voice.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

I always have difficulty with the southern accents. Once we were at a McD in GA. The woman at the desk couldn't understand me and I couldn't understand her. One of the younger, teen girls there had to act as an interpreter for us.

Re: Why Do Canadians Say ‘Eh’?
I would concur.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.
Re: Why Do Canadians Say ‘Eh’?
There used to be Esso stations in the USA. Their marketing folks thought Exxon had more pizazz, and rebranded the USA operations as such. They've since merged with Mobil under the corporate umbrella ExxonMobil. That would account for the Mobil stations popping up in Ontario.
That awful show Heavy Rescue 401 that once aired on The Weather Channel during the wee hours made me chuckle when the rescue crews unsuccessfully tried to use American slang. Most notable: using the word 'semi' (and mispronouncing it semee, as in 'semicolon') instead of using the local terms 'transport' or 'transport truck'.
