Do the Americans have some sort of equivalent?We never even knew Canada Day existed until one year going into Richmond/Vancouver we had the longest border crossing we ever experienced in the 35 years of going up there.
We asked the border agent what was going on, he said it is "Canada Day". We said, to ourselves, what is "Canada Day"?

I think our 4th of July, Independence Day, is similar, but I think England still owns Canada, eh?Do the Americans have some sort of equivalent?

Paul, it takes years of practice to get the syntax and timing of 'eh' right. You can always tell a foreigner who is pretending. Pronunciation is also not as simple as you might think.I think our 4th of July, Independence Day, is similar, but I think England still owns Canada, eh?

I wonder if there is an English equivalent. "eh" is used as a declarative, an interrogative, and an exclamatory, often combined....all in one little word.
