Questions for Canada

[crazybayman]

Is it true that when you say things, you ALWAYS put "Eh" at the end?

My brother told me that when he went to Canada, he met someone and he always said "Eh".

Example:

"Have a nice day, eh."

Blasted Torontonians!!

Yes. we all say "eh". We all wear toques. We are all curlers/hockeyplayers/lumberjacks. We all have pet beavers and pet moose.

Honestly, not everyone in Canada says "eh". :rolleyes2 Some do, but I sure as hell don't.

The ones that do would typically say "Oh ya, yoo betcha, eh?!?" :rolleyes2 I think its typical of people from the Toronto area, and Ontario, and maybe the Western provinces.

Actually, I have had moose in my backyard. Attached is a picture taken downtown St. John's, in the dockyard, not far from where I work. The dude with the gun is a wildlife officer, going to tranquilize the moose, so they can lift it out safely, and transport it outside the city. This one is actually just a calf, and not very big.

What is your view, as a canadian, on seal clubbing?
Or is that Alaska....? Oh well same thing.

There is a commercial Seal Hunt. We club Seals like we club Americans

Seriously though, Seals are hunted the same as people hunt deer. Seal meat is quite tastey, and the skins are put to good use. And yes, seals are clubbed, because its much more humane than killing with a rifle. I know it sounds barbaric, but the seal dies instantly when clubbed over the snout, rather than being shot, and bleeding to death on the ice. Plus, it controls the seal population, which is overpopulated, and is depleting the cod fish stocks.

I don't want to hear any whining from any tree huggers out there. I'm not a seal harvester.
