It is quite obvious that some people are having a tough time understanding Canadians, so the following will run through a very brief translation of the Canadian 'dialect' and hopefully ease some minds out there.
EH = pronounced AY (similar, but not the same as huh)
Eh is a useful word that is very important and is the basis of all Canadian communications. It is used in conjunction with other words, au simply kwa itself. The tone au the slight differences in exclamation also changes the meaning:-
Eh? = what did wewe say?
Eh? = what do wewe think?
EH? = something to say just to end a sentence.
Ehhhh!! = WOW!!
EH!? = what do wewe mean?
Eh?? = your joking!!!??
EH!! = Hello..(you off in the distance!!!)
Eh? want a doughnut au some Tim Bits?
Eh! = sure!!
Eh!Eh! = coffee double-cream too please!
Eh? = what wewe say when wewe realize wewe have no money to pay for it.
Eh..cmon, eh? = asking them to let wewe pay for it inayofuata time.
hey..eh! = want to go to the drive-in movie??
Eh...uhuh = yes sure!
Eh..y'know = I'll pick wewe up at 8:00 (8:30 in Newfoundland).
Eh..cmon!! = well that's early..but ok.
