Well shit, far be it for me to think of all the satellite industries that are propped up by the lumbering giant that is the oilsands.
Fun fact: The oilsands are estimated to have in reserve a quantity of oil equal to all the other known oil reserves in the world combined. Take THAT Saudi Arabia!
Eh, let's get some pop and prōgram for this prōject so we can leave work early, drink beer, eat poutine and watch the hockey game, eh? I like maple syrup. Eh?
?O_o?
Sorry I forgot:
I am always polite to everyone, even complete strangers, eh.
Well, that's true.
I just don't get what you mean here:
"...get some pop and prōgram for this prōject..."
The Calgarians I work with say pop ALL. THE. TIME. It's infuriating! Coke! COKE! I would like a COKE! Soda works too!
(We say prahject. You guys say prohject.)
What if you don't want a Coke? What if you want a Pepsi? Or a Root Beer? Or some other carbonated beverage that you haven't decided on yet... Using Coke as the general term is just retarded.
I got you were talking about the differences in the pronounciations; your sentence just didn't make much sense to me. Also, prawject and prohject are both common here.
In the free world, ordering a carbonated beverage goes like this:
"I would like a coke."
"What kind?"
"A Dr. Pepper."
Anything else and you are a godless hippie pinko commie and should be dragged out into the street and shot.

If you came to the northeast and said "I would like a coke," they would nod politely, leave, and come back with a can of fucking Coca Cola which is a brand and which you just asked for by name.
The only way in which "what kind" would make sense would be if one was specifying "Vanilla coke" or "Cherry coke."

And that is retarded.
I can see using Coke or Pepsi and meaning a cola--that's largely just based on personal preference and laziness.
Using Coke to mean all carbonated beverages? O_o
And as for pop/soda, while pop is definitely the norm anywhere I've been in Canada, soda would be just as acceptable for me, since I'm not an asshat and realise they're both from soda pop.
I never notice the odd phrases I use until I go to England.
Things like "I'm going up the road", meaning "I'm going home". Or "messages" instead of "groceries".
What?
I guess if you lived up the road, that one would make sense.
But messages instead of groceries? How do you even use that?
"I'm going out to pick up some messages."
Man, that's just bizarre. haha.
Our mailbox is one of those neighbourhood boxes, so we actually have to go out to get our mail. If you said that to me, I'd probably think of the mail. (How would groceries become messages in the first place?)

I have severe lack of crystal early in a game when I'm TEC.
I do love me some LRM frigates, but I can't even train up to them fast because I have to put everything into better refining and even then I have no crystal.

I'll be waiting with a bottle of Pepsi Max to beat you over the head with.
"I'm out for my messages" = "I am getting groceries" or "I'm shopping".
"I'm away for my messages" = "I'm going to get groceries".

Pepsi? Pepsi???
I'd rather drink Coke Zero than any Pepsi. Pfft, Pepsi.
Man, that's just bizarre. haha.

She was going to, quite literally, become a doctor and treat the poor.
The first word is clearly the better one!
It's what ents do, silly.

Dr. Pepper is immoral.
I say that, and I also order cola when I don't know what they serve (and because I don't care).
Can I have one?
Some of you may think I'm mocking the South by saying that, but that's actually what they call it. It really doesn't require any additional mocking.
I bet he hasn't even sworn the Hippocratic Oath.

You are a talented [Chat]ter!
I've never heard that. Ever. You're just making shit up you granola.
That's one thing I'm truly glad my Canadian friends taught me. Granola.
INDEED.

and you encountered a barn full of southern cops?
I haven't seen a Mr. Pibb since I was a little kid. Same with RC Cola.
Catch you all later.
