Voting is open!! Voting will be open for the next 45 days, please vote wisely! Find each word's home page below for an explanation as to what the heck it means and why it should be Canada's new Cheers.

Cheers for Canada
is a Canada wide contest to create a new, uniquely Canadian replacement for 'Cheers'. This word could be yours!

The winner will receive a party toasting their word on May 24 weekend, 2009!

EH!

Brittany from Halifax says:

"This is an obvious one, but a true symbol of our national pride. Every Canadian traveller has heard the line "oh, you're Canadian, eh?" followed by a guffaw. It is used as a joke, but I say we take the word back from "the man" once and for all.
Eh is also often used to express the affirmative, the positive: "you're coming to the bar, eh?", "you drink Keith's, eh?" and what's more positive than doing a cheers with your closest friends?
I'll say "eh" to a beer anytime."

Thanks a lot Brittany, Best of Luck and EH!
