Why Do Canadians Say Eh? Funny Mug Red White

White ceramic mug with red lettering. Canada is really spelled cnd, but when the first Canadian explorer spelled it, he said, "c, eh, N, eh D, eh." For the same reasons America say "ya know" after every sentence. Because the speaker uses as an interjection to check to see if you are still listening. Blame the french. They started it, eh? Because saying "Huh?" is embarrassing!
