"So you don't need anything from Canada eh?"

Now that SCTV's no more, wellll, hmmm...

Canada eh? It was a joke. So were the Mackenzie brothers. You see Canadians can laugh at themselves.

Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis realized that when they wrote the skit and it made them internationally famous.

In truth ending a sentence with eh? is a form of slang only a small number of Canadians use. Primarily military and northerners.

Also SCTV ceased production because the entire cast was getting US movie offers hand over fist. It's twenty years old and is still in rerun on cable and DVD sales are solid.

It was not canceled if I understand the implication of hmmmmm.....

Actually, I am a huge fan of SCTV, and will forever be grateful to Canada for that single contribution alone.

Hope that clarifies my post. ; )
