Been watching a TV series lately on Netflix, Intelligence. It’s basically the Canadian version of the Wire. Pretty good. Being Canadian, it’s a bit less gritty, there are no guns, and everyone turns their sentences into questions by using the word ‘yea.’ (as in, ’I need 500 pounds of your best product, yea?’). Not sure when ‘yea’ replaced ‘eh’ as most stereotypical word in the Canadian lexicon, but I think I may start incorporating it in my daily conversations.
Since I have Canada on the brain, I present songs from my favorite Canadian artists, yea?
