An essay that examines Canadian English by exploring the idiosyncrasies of Canadian speech. Looking primarily at the formation of a permanent dialect that has become Canadian English, the essay suggests that while Americanisms and Britishisms have an influence on Canadianisms, Canadianisms have for the most part evolved by themselves and represent things pertaining specifically to Canada.
