NEW - Things Only Canadians Say: Yeah, No. It Means No… yeah?

Canadian expressions are invisible until someone from outside names them. With F1 weekend pulling visitors into Montreal from around the world, the hosts asked the question: what do we say that sounds completely normal to us and completely baffling to everyone else? "Yeah, no" came up first. It sounds like disagreement. It is agreement. One host traced it to a gaming session with an American friend who stopped him mid-sentence to ask what he was saying. From there the list ran long. Measuring road trips in hours instead of kilometres. Squeezing past strangers in the grocery aisle with a quiet scooch. The double double. Each one landed differently once said out loud. Topics: Canadian expressions, Canadian slang, Canadianisms, F1 Montreal, Montreal Canadiens Originally aired on 2026-05-22
