A little bit of Oz in the icy land of the Canuck, eh

I’m 30-something Australian “sheila” and have made my home in a small town (its claim to fame is that it's the “Smallest City in Canada”) in British Columbia, Canada.
I came here 3 years ago to be with the love of my life, and no, I aint gonna get all soppy and tell you how wonderful he is, although…. he is.
When I came here, I thought I would have a problem with the language since Canada is bi lingual, and I only speak one language…..and apparently, that’s Australian….not English as I used to think.
Now, my Canadian bloke understands me very well, in spite of the accent, although there have been times when he has that blank look on his face, and I just know that he didn’t understand a bloody thing I just said….(or maybe…. that’s just a bloke thing?)

All-0f-the-above + You may be a little too Canadian if...

• You automatically read 'Z' as 'Zed' and don't give a damn that it doesn't rhyme with "now I know my abcs"; "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, "Huh?" More by Istvan
