As a Canadian, I take offense with your rather unparsimonius usage of the word “eh,” which is usually uttered in accompaniment with an exclamation or question mark (as in, it’s really freaking cold, eh?)
In GMTD usage, “eh” is not the same thing as “meh.” The latter implies mediocrity, leaning towards the negative, something in the range of 1.5-2.0. The former means it’s okayish, maybe 2.0-2.5, but not remarkable enough to bother commenting on.
By sheer coincidence, i just finished – and by “just finished,” i mean minutes ago – the NY Times crossword puzzle from 18 April 2016, where a clue was “Idiot, in Canadian lingo” (6 letters) – i don’t of course mean to imply that you’re an idiot!

I believe “meh” is the more appropriate term.
😉 I jest. Keep the posts coming!

Oof. Touché, I suppose 😉 (what was the answer anyhow?)
