There seems to be a few people on here from Canada. Call me ignorant, but I actually know hardly anything about that country. Do some places still speak French?

@ bagheera im canadian to , tough im from ontario .
its fun to talk to an other canadian were once in a wyle .
anyway , welcome to the forum ^^
and @ Capsha , well im canadian , and well i do speak french , go to a french shcool , but what ive heard is that apparently its getting more and more english ...
infact ive spoken to people from Quebec (next to ontario ) and they didint belive me when i said i was from ontario , they tough ontario was english ...
but i think that the most french place is probably Quebec ... i think , well most ''quebecois'' i meet dont understand english or barely speak it at all .
so anyway ... i dont know if it has to do where my citie's at ... the reason why im french , but it could probably affect , i litteraly live on the line that seperates the two province* , i mean i live on a water front and if i go in my yard close to the river , on the other side its an other province . lol i know its kindv wierd .but its kindv usulful , i mean i just drive past a bridge and im there ...
i usued to live in ottawa ... ever heard of it ... its pretty multy cultural , but you can find people who speack french ... amoung other languages ...

I'm from England! Let's just say It's wet. Not as wet as people think though, it doesn't rain every day... Other than that it's quite spiffing really. *sips some tea* Not really lol. Although I must admit, we are quite big on tea. When I was six years old we almost moved to Canada, but my family decided against it in the end.

I used to live in Upstate New York. I took a 2-week trip to Canada -- the first week was in Quebec, and the second week was in the city of Ottowa. Most people we interacted with in Quebec spoke English, but it was thick and really hard to understand. They were all really cool, though -- especially Simon (see-moan), who was learning English as his 3rd language. We had lots of fun.
When we left the family in Quebec, we went to Ottowa, and I was really surprised by the difference. There was a tiny bit of French being spoken there, but it was almost exclusively English. Just the funny kind of English that got me hooked saying "eh". It's been a part of my vocabulary since then -- right next to "wicked" (as in "that was wicked awesome!").

I'm in transition right now. I live in Stuttgart, Germany but in three weeks, I'm moving back to sweet ole Rhode Island!
WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!! I miss New England seafood and beach weather. As you can see, I'm very psyched to finally get back home.
Tomorrow I'm flying to Scotland to visit a friend before I move. So much to do in so little time.

There seems to be a few people on here from Canada. Call me ignorant, but I actually know hardly anything about that country. Do some places still speak French? The province of Quebec has their first language as French, and there are a lot of french speakers in the areas around it, but the western and northern provinces are English. There are a few French-Immersion schools around, but you don't here it often where I live. Saber: There's moose all over Saskatchewan. A few of the mounties used to keep them in place of horses back in the homesteading days. The Skidoo all year thing is indeed wrong. About mid-may the rural people switch to quads and dirt bikes because the snow melted, and quadding in mud is pretty awesome. The 'eh' thing is mostly an eastern province thing, especially around Newfoundland. As far as I know, people around here don't use it.

yeah ? I tought the "eh?" thing was more in the north , like mayebe uper BC .
My friend says it , But its mostly to annoy me , (I hate it when she says it ) , and I cought My mom saying it on the phone the other day .
But its not like "Part of my vocabulairy" I dont say it , my friends dont say it , basicly no one around here says it , none of wich i noticed . Well around here apart from some english folks there a large part of the town that's pretty french , well the french sounds a bit like from Quebec to me . (still i dought) and people around here are often quite bilangual , french and english ... unless you go on the other side of the bridge (into the quebec province) that's a diffrent story ...
Oh and the Caribou thing , just to say that I like Caribou but never saw wild ones ... I'm like close to Ottawa ... I just saw them at zoos and such ... tought I'd love to go up north and see them ofcourse .
Anywho . Just wanted to say that ...
