  • The Social Meaning of Eh in Canadian English∗
    THE SOCIAL MEANING OF EH IN CANADIAN ENGLISH∗ Derek Denis University of Toronto 1. Introduction. The recent surge in sociolinguistic investigation of pragmatic markers such as general extenders (and stuff, and things like that), discourse and quotative like, and utterance final tags (right, you know) has been primarily fuelled by questions about grammaticalization and language change (D’Arcy 2005; Tagliamonte and D’Arcy 2007; Cheshire 2007; Tagliamonte and Denis 2010; Pichler and Levey 2011; Denis and Tagliamonte pear). Included in that set of pragmatic markers is eh, a very special variant (at least for Canadians). In this paper, I build on earlier work (Avis 1972; Johnson 1976; Gibson 1977; Gold 2005, 2008) and discuss the development of this very Canadian feature in terms of indexical order and indexi- cal change, along the lines of Silverstein’s seminal 2003 paper and Johnstone and Kiesling’s (Johnstone and Kiesling 2008; Johnstone 2009) work on Pittsburghese, which applies Silverstein’s framework. Although eh is well-known as the quintessential Canadian English stereo- type, there has been little research that discusses how exactly it came to hold this status. By tracking the points in time at which eh gained meanings at subse- quent orders of indexicality, a` la Silverstein (1993, 2003) and Johnstone (2009), I establish a timeline of the development of eh’s social meaning in Canada. My arguments draw on evidence based on the metadiscourse surrounding eh, perfor- mances of Canadian identity, real- and apparent-time data that tracks the usage of eh in Southern Ontario English over the last 130 years (Tagliamonte 2006; Denis 2012) and the commodification of eh.

  • How Is Rush Canadian?
    Rush and Philosophy 2nd pages 3/11/11 1:56 PM Page 287 21 How Is Rush Canadian? DURRELL BOWMAN Given Canada’s relatively small population (twenty-one million in 1969, thirty-four million in 2009), many—but certainly not all—of the nation’s more ambitious musicians have pursued at least some of their career activities in the US and other foreign parts. Rush mainly demonstrates “Canadianness” by combining such British and American influences as progressive rock, hard rock, and indi- vidualism. However, the band has also included more specifically Canadian references across its long career. CanCon The Canadian government implemented specific content—or “CanCon”—regulations in 1971, and broadcasters were then required to include certain percentages of Canadian material. For music, at least two of a song recording’s four main categories of Music, Artist, Production, and Lyrics (“M-A-P-L”) must be “Canadian” according to citizenship or location. The interpretation of this changed after 1991, due to a “scandal” involving Bryan Adams failing to qualify as Canadian because of co-writing certain songs, such as “(Everything I Do) I Do it For You” ( Waking up the Neighbours and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves , both 1991), with such non-Canadians as Mutt Lange and Michael Kamen. (Spelling the word “neighbours” in the Canadian way apparently didn’t help.) The outcome is that even though Shania Twain similarly co- wrote the songs on Come on Over (1997) with her then-husband Mutt Lange and did not record any of this music in Canada, her album and its songs by that point qualified as Canadian.

  • Lower Taxes Is the Goal by Reg P. Wydeven May 21
    Lower Taxes is the Goal By Reg P. Wydeven May 21, 2017 A few weeks ago I caught the classic movie ‘Strange Brew’ on cable. The comedy stars Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas as hapless Canadian brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie. The film also popularized the insult of ‘Hoser,’ which originates in hockey. When Canadian youth played hockey outdoors, where it is meant to be played, they didn’t have Zambonis. Therefore, the losing team was tasked with getting the hose to spray water on the rink to remove the scuffs and cuts in the ice. Hence the name ‘hoser.’ Because of its outdoor roots, hockey leagues have recently begun playing games outdoors. In 2006, Lambeau Field hosted The Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic, which saw the Wisconsin Badgers defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes 4-2. In 2003, the National Hockey League held the Heritage Classic between the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. It was the first outdoor regular season game in NHL history. On New Year’s Day in 2008, the NHL began the annual Winter Classic with the Pittsburgh Penguins facing the Buffalo Sabres in Ralph Wilson Stadium outside Buffalo. The Stadium Series started in 2014 featuring additional outdoor games. This year marks the 100th year of the NHL. To celebrate, the NHL Centennial Classic between the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs was played at BMO Field in Toronto on January 1. The NHL 100 Classic will be played on December 16 between Montreal and the Ottawa Senators at TD Place Stadium in Ottawa.

Canada has an extensive public subsidy system for popular music, deriving from the implementation of content quotas for publicly licensed airwaves and the need to supply these airwaves with appropriate content. This thesis evaluates and analyses the history that engendered these policies to reveal their impact on the concept of Canadian identity as a whole, and the impact of Canadian identity formation on the popular music industries.
