The word Canadians are best known for—in addition to “eh”—is “sorry.” We say it repeatedly, often inappropriately. The other day my son bumped into his desk and I overheard him apologize—to an inanimate object. I wasn’t sure whether or not to pat myself on the back. Did I raise him well? Or was his reflexive “sorry” ingrained, part of his Canadian DNA?
