- A handshake is the common greeting between strangers.
- French Canadians may also greet each other by lightly kissing both cheeks once, starting on the left.

” and “what?” commonly found in U.S. vocabulary.
- “We're gonna go tobogganing today, eh?”
- “The Beer Store AND the LCBO was closed today.”
- “Eh?!”
- “Yo, I'm short a toonie for the TTC.”
- “All I've got is a loonie.
- “I'm gonna go to Timmies real quick and grab me a box of Timbits.”

I am fine, thank you. – Bien, merci. (Literally, "Fine, thanks.")
