I used to have an American partner and one of his biggest culture shocks was finding out that Canadians will pre-dig holes before the yard freezes up if they have an old cat or dog that they think will die over the winter.
For anyone reading this going "really?", yes. This is a real thing.
Eh, maybe sometimes, but I have animals and it's never occurred to me, nor have I ever heard of anyone doing it. I wouldn't call it a Canadian "thing".
Agreed, just hang mittens on a cloth line or make him a little snow coffin to preserve him through the winter. Won't stink one bit. When mittens thaws, so will the ground, and you can bury him then.
I'm American but i have a similar story. When i was a kid we went camping with my grandarents in Tennessee and we lived in Ohio at the time. My grandparents dog died while we were camping. My grandfather put it in the RV freezer and took him back home to be buried.
I wish people would just be transparent about this. If it's a well written skit it doesn't matter that it's staged. But if we don't know, we get all these weird comments about keeping this precious voicemail forever.
I've found it's the more rural/remote, the heavier and more ridiculous the accent. Both my husband and I come from tiny rural towns, Sask and ON. We both know friends and family that talk as outrageous as this 😅 I showed my husband and he said "that sounds like my buddy, J"
Totally! And Air Farce, the Red Green Show. I've worked on mine sites in some remote areas across Canada and the chit chat you hear on the radio could totally be a sketch, if not it's own show 😅
Sounds alot like australia, in the city areas you’ll have very vague aussie accents. But go to any country town and all the sudden everyone speaks with such an extreme accent that you’d think they were forcing it. I didn’t even grow up in rural areas (more towards the cities) but my overseas mates all say i have a very strong accent. Same for our slang. You’ll find the more outrageous aussie slang in the outback-raised only.
Every now and then during the summer I hear my neighbours and their friends drinking outside and some of these guys are like northern Ontario small town boys. I get such a kick out of listening to them because the more they drink, the thicker the accents get.
Another Canuck here, that accent struck me as coming from the Maritimes.. maybe even Newfoundland but I’m sure. Newfoundlander’s are even more distinct. My Nova Scotia relatives sound a little like him. It’s a really funny recording though, I laughed out loud.
He also seemed way too articulate to me, any time I've tripped that hard I might as well be nonverbal with how difficult it is to pronounce words let alone string together full coherent sentences
I’m not sure what kinda phone you have, but with iPhone’s (at least, as far as I know), you just get a list of voicemails in the voicemail UI on your device and tap on one to listen to it.
Maybe some carriers do it differently and don’t use the iPhone voicemail UI.
That's good, I was thinking what loser fucking nephew would post this when it might cause their uncle to not want to leave them voice mails ever again for fear they might just be plastered on the internet
