That's how it seemed to me. The first time I visited my friend Ryan in Alberta I giggled a bit at the sound of "eh." He didn't say it very often, but a friend of his did quite a bit. I like it. It is much more polite than saying HUH?? They tried to teach me the proper usages

I adore Canada. I'm trying to find a way to move there myself. Great country, eh?
