No One Can Say “Sorry” Quite Like A Canadian - Sandra Oh

Growing up in Canada, where an apology can sometimes mean much more than “sorry,” all Sandra Oh wanted was to move to New York and become a theater actor, which she’ll be doing this summer in a new off-Broadway show. Stick around for more with Sandra Oh and catch her performance Sundays on HBO in the new series, “The Sympathizer.”

I am so happy to see an actor like Sandra Oh doing so well. 20 years ago my wife and I saw her in Double Happiness about a Chinese-Canadian woman in a tug of war with her strict controlling father and passive mother. Her performance in that is fantastic making us hope that she would get noticed and given more work. She never disappoints, so smart and funny too.

@canadaclaret Ай бұрын

@@heatherst-amour6250 the story doesn't seem plausible to me, though. It's not like he was placing commercial signs in shop windows. He was putting up posters for a fringe show on lamp posts. Maybe that wasn't allowed in the area where he was, or maybe they needed a stamp of approval from the organizers or something. I have a great deal of sympathy for the Québec language laws, though their rationale can be difficult to explain to outsiders and they are sometimes comical in their ham-handed enforcement. I live in NDG and there are lots of English only signs up announcing local events on posts etc. C'est n'est pas un big deal.

David Steinberg (from Winnipeg) was asked by his daughter (raised in L.A.) about the difference between Canadians and Americans. He showed her on an elevator in Toronto. For no reason, he said "sorry.". All the other people on the elevator fidgeted a bit and each said "sorry" in return. I have found myself reflexively saying sorry to furniture that I've bumped into. Or, (in Québec) "désolé" or "excusez".

@@scotthong2008 Mr Thong, you may not have been given a "hello" in Toronto, that might be true. It's a huge city, and in huge cities, people rarely say hello to random strangers, even if they have whimsical surnames like "Thong." Nevertheless, being Canadian, they will certainly say "sorry." Like, I am sorry that I snickered at your funny surname, for instance.

In 1995 I was fortunate to be sent on a business trip to Montreal for a wk. Quebec was getting ready to vote on whether to remain part of Canada. Knowing that some French Canadians felt (feel?) some hostility towards English-speakers, I was concerned that I might get knocked down by someone for speaking English. My concern was misplaced and we had a wonderful time. When you're greeted in French and you reply in English, the locals switch to English and everything's cool. The only problem we encountered was an ill-tempered metro employee who surely was bilingual but gave us a hard time anyway.
