Some Prairie "Canadianisms" not mentioned on the Canadian English page
It is worth noting that hey is also used in Prairie Provinces instead of ay, although ay is still used.

Also worth noting that a cabin will commonly be used to refer to a house (especially a 2nd one) for around lake and/or lake-front property. An acreage is also used to specify the type of house it is, especially when it in about an acre of land, or many (to many many) acres of land. Ranch and farm are more commonly used in terms of many-many acres. A cottage is used commonly to refer to a small cabin and/or a forested cabin. A log cabin will be used not only for log cabins, but also for plank cabins. Cabin will also be used on a ranch or farm to denote a house as being used for guests; guest house will still be used, and guest cabin will also commonly be used, and is almost solely used if the guest cabin is larger than what would be considered a cottage (or small cabin), and the guest in guest cabin will be dropped, making it just cabin; guest cottage will also be used, especially if it is secluded. In general, cottage will also be used for a secluded cabin of one story (and perhaps a basement) [and this is likely one of the reasons why cabins which are in wooded grounds will be called cottages, since they are often in secluded woods, but note that a cottage in the woods does not need to be secluded] but rarely if it is beach/lake front; note that it is more likely ,although cabin is still preferred, maybe worth considering a 30-70--40-60% split respectively, if the house is covered by trees from the lake/beach front.

Edit: Also worth noting - as I don't remember reading it - that washroom (at least in the Prairies, although I suspect this is true for more of Canada) is a term for half-bathroom or powder-room, etc. Washroom will generally also be used as a term for any bathroom not upstairs and/or intended to be used by a bedroom. Washroom and bathroom (where bathroom refers to a washroom having a shower or bath, hence the bath) are somewhat used interchangeably, and a bathroom can almost always be called a washroom, where a washroom is less likely to be called a bathroom. In these manners, the difference between a bathroom and a washroom - as it is for the various country home terms - can be very confusing for anyone non-native, but is natural for any Canadian and becomes natural overtime.
