We have a plant in Canada and their accents are very noticable.

Years and years ago I dated a nurse who was Irish and from Montreal. She said "Is it not" all the time. I always gave her a rash of crap about it. One time we took a trip to Montreal together and stayed with her brother. He said it, too. Do people still go to Ben's for smoked beef.

What about "Swartz's" just down the hill from "The Pines" brasserie? Is it still there?
That was my favourite.
