I grew up in Canada. (I now live in KS.)

Toque (pronounced "too"k, rhymes with duke.) - winter hat (Kansans call it a stocking cap. I think that's weird, too.)

Eh? (My dad says that a lot. ie: "I was going down to the store, eh, and I saw this car, eh, and . . ."), etc.

Zed - the letter z. The car, Z-28 is pronounced Zed-28.

Many others.

And, the accent. My DD19 spent 7 months volunteering in LA and TX. There were many Canadian volunteers there, as well. And, she talks on Skype daily with her Canadian BF. I laugh at her, because she has picked up a Canadian accent while living in the southern U.S. states.
