We can't talk about Canadian accents without talking about deckles.

As an aside I used to work in a mall about a half hour's drive from the Canadian border (British Columbia) and I could identify a Canadian from across the room. That accent.

A Newfoundlander and an Albertan sound nothing alike.

Most Ontarians don't have a Canadian accent at all; Even the ones without ethnic accents sound vaguely Jamaican to me.

This dude knows the score of course. I have the misfortune of having grown up in PEI, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick some I'm sure my accent is some mishmash of oh god my ears.

Speaking of Newfoundlanders though, we could even compare them to their closer neighbours Labradorians, and they still don't sound alike. Similar, but definitely different.

If they were from BC then I'm assuming they had an Asian accent? /racism

No, Gremio did not break his coccyx, it was flesh-eating mites. Don't you pay attention?
