I'm curious what this is all about? I see so many Canadians refer to this in their forum location or whatever.

Is it a common manerism for Canadians? Like instead of saying Hello, you would say Eh?
 
meaning something along the lines of "Repeat that, please". It is also commonly used as a method for inciting an answer, as in "it's nice here, eh?"

Eh, you wanna coffee from Tim Horton LOL
It's very common used by Canadians instead ey that was used by French

There is so much about that eh :-))

I guess this help you understand Canadians better
 
eh is more common at the end of a sentence than the beginning. It's like the American favourite - 'you know' in some regards.

Wanna play hockey eh?
Don't even think of throwing that snowball at me eh!

And yes, it is very common. Unlike the American injection of 'you know' and 'like' into common speech being an indicator of low i.q. or lack of a proper education, eh is used by Canadians of all educational levels.
 
we have almost the same here in greece!
