Canadian Thanksgiving Monday

iu
 
@Mizmo I was born so far north in the U.P. of Michigan, on the south shore of Lake Superior, that we called it South Canada. "Eh?" is spoken there. We lived in a hoose and often went oot and aboot:)

Happy Thanksgiving🦃🍁
Hahaha.....
Actually we don' t use those words like that or eh! ..only in a joking manner.
It's how Americans have interpreted it.
I have lived here in Canada for 65 years and yet to hear them spoken in normal conversation.

Interesting take on it here.

Hm. We used to drive to Duluth (MN) to shop. Lots of Canadians drove across the border to shop there, too, and they talked just like us. Maybe a colloquial thing? Dialect? What's the word I'm looking for?
