Are there Canadians that actually speak like this?

We all do, but it's considered impolite to do so with foreigners before Go Time.

It's why we had to kill Bob and Doug Mckenzie. They got too close to the edge.

Can you translate. I never learned Canadian. They didn't offer it at school.

Sorry, it's a Windtalker sort of thing. You have to be born to it.

There's actually two dialects going in this clip, Common Hockey and Classic Received Cape Breton.

How're ya now? That's pretty close, and a common error in dialect assignment, as the Classic Received Cape Breton is often confused with the Middle South Ontario (the St. Mary's / Listowel /Wingham Triangle Region to be precise) from which this originates. The telltale difference is the use of "Give 'er", uncommon in the MSO, popular in the CRCB.

(and yes, we do speak like this)

Well... honestly, Canadian Languages was an elective in University, I was majoring in Z-Stacking (pronounced zed-stackn). Z-Stacking is not unlike rock cairn balancing, only you use cinder blocks and a '87 Camaro Z28 with no wheels.

Hop out to the Wet Coast, we'll go fer a rip, and grab a 2-4 of Lucky Kings.

Canadian here, have lived all across the country and have shed any and all regional dialects as a result. I studied "Standard North American English" in Uni, and sadly it just sounds like the news anchors of every major Canadian/American network. So Canadians and Americans in the larges urban centers have the same 'standard' and you'd be hard-pressed to tell them apart. But there are fun local dialects like this in both countries.

This is obvious, but I'm pointing it out because I get tired of Americans not in 'the know' saying Canadians sound funny when really all 'country folk' in both countries have odd local dialects.

Great timing and execution in this show though.

That's a show?

I couldn't watch that continuously.

Not the Letterkenny I was thinking of...
