The worst part is that I've started picking it up, just like I picked up "eh"--which I actually like. I'm being slowly sucked into a bizarro world of Northern grammar.
BTW, the answer to my last post: Barack Obama and Mr. T.

A brief rant about Canadian grammar
This is going to sound harsh, but seriously, guys. When God (or Samuel Johnson/Billy Shakespeare) created English, He included these wonderful parts of speech called "prepositions." They fulfill an important role: making your sentences not sound like they were spoken by someone with Broca's aphasia (tasteless neuropsychology joke). Do you guys not realize how strange it sounds to say "I'm done work today"? It makes it unclear whether you're failing at constructing the past tense or failing at constructing the present. Just one little "with" would make it all so much better.
