Hi-Out of curiosity-I wanted to know how many members are here from Canada? I'm working on a project and I wanted to know if someone could please help me out with Canadian terminology? Please let me know. Thank you.

Absolutely none. About a hundred thousand unique visitors each day. None are Canadian.

Well, we got "eh". However, it is generally meant to be part of a question, as though asking for agreement, such as "right".

"So you're going to China, right?"
"So you're going to China, eh?"

Same thing. Using it in any sentence makes no grammatical sense, it is just for questions. Although all the parodies actually use "eh" more than I do...

Besides that, the terminology is rather the same, considering American and Canadian culture is more or less the same thing, with just a few minor differences.

I know for example in Canada a bigshot is called a "hyas tyee".

A good chunk of Newgrounds' population is probably from Canada.

And why are you doing a project on Canadians, anyway?
