Do people in British Columbia even have the Canadian accent? Looks to me like an Ontario thing. Also did anyone else watch Canada: A people's history? We watched it in school.

Eastern BC has some redneck poo poo so you get a bit of that vernacular sometimes but it's mostly bland saltines.

Looks to me like an Ontario thing. i grew up in north BC and get told i have a BC accent by other canadians and a canadian accent by non canadians so i would say absolutely we do. it's similar to the ontario hick accent but i guess subtly different enough that other cans clock me real quick. vancouver/south BC people have much less of it in my experience but anything north of like 100 mile house is practically a different province anyways we watched a people's history in my grade... 11? socials class and i remember nothing other than diefenbaker trying really hard and accomplishing gently caress all

I've traveled quite a lot and people are always confused by my accent, they tell me it's really odd and they've never heard it before. I think it's just me, and that I talk weird, period.

Another Bill posted:That's a real thing though. There are tons of rural french Canadian families with last names like Shaughnessy or O'Malley. Yea, in the moment you have two kids that speak I'm English with no accent, and then the little girl actor has an extremely thick and noticeable Quebec accent, which is hilarious because she's meant to be Irish. And I love the Canadian Liqour Store system, but not the beer store. It's like a soup kitchen for beer. Walk up to the counter and make your order and over the mic the counter person goes "case of blue" and it rolls out. Though Ontario was so much better than Nova Scotia, more interesting imports and the shelves weren't taken up by rows of local beers that are all trying to be as cutsey as possible.

Re supply teachers: Ontario CHUDs and WASPs hate teachers with the fire of a thousand suns, because they have a strong union and make a living wage. (Roughly 50k to start, up to about 90k after 15 years) This is coming to head rn because the Ontario government is trying to override their charter rights (part of the constitution) using our 'notwithstanding clause' to make striking illegal and impose a contract without negotiation. This might get Ontario into cool zone territory in the next few weeks. e: The current dispute is with 55,000 education support staff but there are also contract negotiations starting with 120,000 teachers too. I hope they all walkout and bring the government to its knees. Another Bill fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Nov 2, 2022 |

Oh my God, the Canadian school system is hosed. And I'm not just talking about elementary and up, preschools are actually one of our most valuable resources, and people treat preschool teachers like trash. To the point that, at least in most provinces, they are still scared to unionize and so don't make a living wage. If your kids don't have childcare, you can't work!

I also have a family member who is a preschool teacher, non-unionized though. The owner of the school literally owns a mansion and goes on multiple international vacations a year, and at least half of the teachers can't afford groceries. They don't even have supplies for their classrooms, they are expected to buy all of it themselves.

i was twenty when the Flames won the Stanley Cup Ketchup Chips are amazing from best to worst but still really good; Lays, Ruffles, Old Dutch We call American Smarties "Rockets' and our Smarties are a much better tasting version of M and M's. In fact, Canadian chocolate has more flavour (not flavor) than American chocolate in general. I was born in Alberta and have no accent because I lived in the States for a couple of years and still prefer to say 'zee' instead of 'zed'. When I worked for the United States Government, soldiers would constantly mistake me for an American and would not believe me when I told them I was Canadian. edit: Also, the drinking age here is 18 and our beer has way more alcohol per can. Our whiskey is pretty drat good, too. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Nov 4, 2022 |

Wtf I say zed. My last name starts with Z. A while back my dad needed a replacement for a defective product. Called em up and there call centre was in the states. Last name on it when the package arrived said Zed(the rest of the letters) instead of Z(rest of the letters) was kinda funny.

The zed/zee thing is contextual for me. Certain words, if you're spelling them out, roll off the tongue nicer with 'zed' than 'zee', or vice versa. I wouldn't spell my name with a 'zee', for example, but maybe if the Z was at the end of a word or before a T in an acronym I'd say 'zee'. I'm certainly not about to chastise someone for saying it 'wrong', that's about on the same level for me as 'correcting' someone's pronunciation of GIF. Who cares I have heard that it's a regional or Canadian vs American thing though, mostly way back in grade school.

I remember saying "zee" when I was a kid and adults correcting me. Nowadays I think you can spell colour without a u and nobody cares.
