# Canada

![Canadian flag](https://raw.github.com/vanruby/canada/master/canada.png)

It's well known that we have [different conventions](http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/1483/do-people-in-non-english-speaking-countries-code-in-english#answer-5576) for programming in Canada. This gem attempts to make life easier for Canadian Rubyists by integrating these conventions into the Ruby language:

```ruby
>> require 'canada'
=> true
>> [].empty_eh?
=> true
>> [1,2,3].empty_eh?
=> false
>> [].respond_to_eh?(:empty_eh?)
=> true
>> aboot Object.new
=> "#<Object:0x007f802b8b92c0>"
>> raise "something went wrong..."
RuntimeError: I'm sorry, but something went wrong...
  from (irb):6
  from /Users/godfrey/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p195/bin/irb:16:in `<main>'
```

Cool, eh?

## Production Ready™, eh?

## What about performance?

We hand-tuned the gem's performance to keep it in line with everything else in Canada.
