apparently my saying some common French phrases, talking aboot hockey, saying "eh" and calling someone a "hoser" is enough to have people say im Canadian, but why french?

Your uncle was a crooked french canadian and he was gut shot running gin. His guts were all suspended in his fingers as he held 'em, how he held 'em, held 'em in.
