Observations of my last Trip to Canada

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

My coworkers always pick on me about my accent and the way I pronounce things...and a couple have have mentioned to me that my voice gets higher at the end of my questions.....

Nick loves Harvey's and makes us get it every single time.

My mom just brought me down some gingerale and coke. AHHHH!

I miss freezies...they taste like ####### here. They have the white ones and I prayed that it was white cream soda but it was yucky coconut that tasted like poo.

I'm going home in 2 weeks...can't wait!!!

Paddle pops in Wisconsin? I was born and raised in WI and don't know of paddle pops. We have Eskimo Pies that are vanilla ice cream on a stick. Is that the same kind of thing?

Wisconsin is weird...we have definite pockets where people call things by different names.

Does Canada have certain areas where people have a stronger noticeable accent? I don't notice my hubby's anymore, I think we've blended a bit. Also, on Ventrillo (on an online game we play), we have a few Canadians in the group and I would never have known...no accent whatsoever. Oh, and that girl on the Bachelorette recently...didn't notice an accent on her either. There was ONE time she said ONE thing and I was like "oh yea, there it is!", but other than that I didn't notice anything.

well according to wiki Paddle Pops is an actual brand name of ice cream treats that they sell in Australia and New Zealand

but those are just pure chocolate.. not chocolate coated vanilla ice cream

I don't see the fascination with Harvey's. I've eaten there 8-10 times and found it OK, but nothing special. I love In-N-Out burgers myself. I even have to distract my wife when we drive past an In-N-Out so we don't have to stop every time

I can definitely tell when people are from the West Coast in Canada as opposed to Ontario. Same with the East Coast. It's definitely more subtle than the US differences that's for sure though. I definitely noticed an accent on the Bachelorette.

Oh and I don't see the fascination with Harvey's either. It's probably one of my least fave chains in Canada.

[Marilyn. 340]

yeah In and Out is good and dependable....

but the best burgers I have had are at Burger Depot in West Covina.. YUM!! and their fries are the best darn fires I have ever had too

don't think I have been to Harvey's...

I was more of a Wendy's girl when I lived in Canada..

I went home back at the end of April, so not too long ago...I can't wait!!!!

LOL

I do not say oot and aboot!!!!!

Well, I wouldn't be so sure of that. Every Canadian does and the ones that say they don't are in denial Nothing to be ashamed of!

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

I do not say oot and aboot!!!!!

I DO!

And I guess I say "Sorry" in a funny way too because my coworkers giggle every time I say it.
