No---but I'm not all that far from Canada, and I have a few Canadian friends. We've always enjoyed their "accent" and the use of the word eh, eh? :lol:

Are you sure? :lol:

Susan and I made our first friends from Canada back in '89. We had attended a live steam meet (scale model railroad engines that operate on steam) in Molalla, Oregon, where we met our now departed friend Ernie Allen. He resided in New Westminster, BC..

Along with Ernie we met two other elderly gentlemen, now deceased. Imagine hearing, for the first time, a person talking about his shop that he had in has garraj (garage). We chuckled and enjoyed him. Not too long after we met this fine person (Eric was his name), he died. A sheer pleasure to have met such a fine trio of men. They were, cumulatively, responsible for our feeling welcome in the live steam fraternity. You would be hard pressed to find a more friendly bunch of people.

I feel for your loss, I have also lost canadian friends and each one alive or beyond would give you a house if you needed it. I believe it's just a true canadian way.
I have some friends in Ireland and they say there is a joke about Canadians
Q: What does a Canadian say when you step on his foot?
A: Sorry

I also have friends in the states and my sister lives in Paducah, KY
and by the way that's quite an accent you have, eh?
and your new york has 3 feet more snow than we have. :shock:
hehe

That's certainly the way we've found them to be. I can't help but wonder if, maybe, it's due to a more relaxed pace of life. All that I have known have come from relatively small communities--which I've found to be most friendly in general---even here in the States.

Ya'all, you say?

Heh! Well, not my neighborhood. We're enjoying some very unusual weather here in Washington--temps in the low 50's and sunshine. A rare occurance in January!
As Susan says about the snow in the east----better them than us!

Good to hear you folks aren't getting slammed. I've never been up your way, but get the idea that winter has a real attitude! We moved from Utah to, in part, get away from the brutal winter weather.

That is too funny!

I only wish more here could laugh at our differences instead of argue about them.

Frankly, I find the Canadian "accent" charming. Scandinavians, too. I really enjoy watching the Ikea ads on TV.

Fact is, everyone has something to offer----we just need to be open to what they have.

This ones for you Harold
The only thing that bugs me is the improper use of eh? in hollywood.
As slang goes U.S. Citizens would not use You'all to describe a number of items in a box, we would not put eh? on then of any sentence.
Eh? is used in a descriptive question / exclamation combination that requires agreement from the listener.
examples: Wow, that apple sure is red, eh?
or just to keep this thread relevant
Boy, newbies who don't search for answers on this forum can be quite arrogant, eh?
an lastly
Amazing, how my free advertising has helped people get free scrap, eh?

But then when ever I hear Canada mentioned in movies and TV from the U.S. I cheer.

During all the traumas that we seem to have all been witnessing on the forum lately I'm really pleased to see the forum doing what it does best.....helping one another.
Well done Joem 8)

Joem;

I wanted to thank you for starting me thinking about advertizing.

I own a small commercial roofing company in the mid-west. Due to the unusual amount of snow we have had this winter, I had to find another revenue stream to support my gold habit.

To make a long story a little shorter, I have been spending way too much time at the local scrap yard. They won't let me buy e-scrap on their property, but they have let me put a sign on either side of the enterance. My signs simply say, TOP DOLLAR PAID FOR COMPUTER SCRAP" and a cell number which I picked up for when I deal with people I don' t trust.

I pay $0.05 a pound over scrap steel price and still make a profit off it after I break them down for the non-ferrous content and clean steel. Yahoo, free gold! It helps that the yard manager likes me. I have been bringing him about 4 or 5 tons of I beams a week for the last month so he makes a cheese cake profit off me.

My best advice to every one is to smile and ask. The worst they can do is say no.
