Why do many Canadians call film "FILIM"?

I think it may come from the U.K. I've heard it many times from British and Scottish people.

the 1st guy that responded your question is a moron to assert the least. i'm a Canadian and in Canada a "barbecue" may additionally recommend a social amassing in the park, etc. I somewhat have under no circumstances used the term "barbecue Grill". The barbecue is basically stated as the barbecue. The nutrition placed on the barbecue is often stated by technique of call. Ex. "do you like barbequed warm canines this night?" P.S. Canadian television is poor. lol

It's originally from Eire. They have a slight tendency to dwell on certain letters, emphasizing them. The 'l' in film being a case in point. It's partly what makes up accents. Wouldn't the world be a boring place without dialects, accents and localised colloquialisms?

@Voxpop. What does British and Scottish people mean? Scottish people are British people. Eire isn't British.

Easy answer would be that they are Canadian but you knew that.

Where I'm presently living (Oregon, US), a cheap camera is called a 'poke & shot'.

But to try a guess at your question - it's the lack of great hops to mix with the barley and they all drink whiskey instead.

I'm Canadian down to the bone and I seriously have no idea why someone would call it that, nor have I heard someone call it that. and I've never set foot outside this country. Maybe it's only in a certain province?

That's how they say it in eastern Pennsylvania too. I can remember my mother in law saying it that way.

She bought her filim at the Acamee for her trip to Itlee.

I'm Canadian through and through, and I have never heard someone call it "filim" before...

Funny, I always thought that expression was from "da Bronx"!
