Canadian dialect
 
Does the Canadian dialect extend further than "Awesome" "F'ck" and "Eh" ? For example: Everything is awesome even when it isn't...f'ck pronounced "fock" is blurted out at every interval and Eh comes after every sentence :p

I find I have replaced 'sorta' with 'kinda', but then I'm common, eh?

Ouch! It isn't to provoke an argument at all, in fact me and a Canadian were laughing about this over the weekend...So! My advice to you is give your head a good wobble and lighten up.

Try to remember that when you make a comment or start a thread with the theme Canadians are backward, loopy, ugly, fat or lazy, you may be insulting the immediate family of some BE members.
However as a nation we must stop the use of the phrase ''no worries''.

My wife, her father and my friends, for example, don't do this.

You implied.

Do all immigrants who locate around the Barrie, Ont, area live like this? -

I have limited exposure but i've seen this picture so it must be true.

Surely when starting a thread like this you expect reaction. That said, if everybody you live with and/or near on your trailer park, work with/queue for benefits with, and acquaint yourself with speaks as you believe then i'm not surprised.

Re: Canadian dialect
 
What I notice is that the Canadians don't like the word bitch. It's F this and F that with some people I'm talking to, but I'm not one to say xxxx unless in certain circumstances hahaha, but if I call someone not present a bitch it's like they jump back, as if they have had a bucket of scalding water thrown over them.

They don't like the word toilet either it has to be washroom...When I was in England last year I used to say, "where is the washroom please" and then I was looked at funny...."Yer what luv, do you mean the toilet".
