Why do all the Canadian's use "Cheers"?

[geckojohn]

Just wondering... i've been noticing it a lot lately.

Because 85% of our waking lives (and 15% of our nights) involve alcohol.


Cheers!

Cuz international law forces canadians to declare themselves to prevent confusion. They might act retarded, but no.. they are just canadian

I've not heard any canadian say Cheers, except my husband. But he says he picked it up while in England.

Because it becomes an HR issue at work if you use 'Later Biatch'.

Did you mean "Your Welcome?" either way...it is rude...but hey what can you do?

 

[sandorski]

I don't say "cheers", but I might have to start just to have the question asked.

I have never heard a Canadian say cheers and I have been going up there for 20 years now.

I've never heard of a Canadian say cheers, and i've lived here all my life. Sounds like a British thing.
