Canadians don't ask questions either. They just make statements, and then add "eh" to the end of the sentence.

Canadians and apes have a lot in common, is what this article is telling me.

I mean, it sort of is, but only for the specific question of asking for agreement with the preceding statement.

"This weather, eh?"
"The Leafs actually have a chance this year, eh?"

But not like "What's your favourite colour, eh?" (Unless, maybe, it's in the context where it's obvious, like someone decked out head-to-toe in pink.)

A Canadian friend told Americans do the same thing, we just put our word at the beginning.

"Hey, get off my car!" "Get off my car, eh!"

Not sure if he was being serious though.

Nah, it's more like the yeah at the end of a sentence, yeah? We don't use it as much because fuck you if you disagree with me. But yeah, we also will just add a question mark with no word.
