For that matter, Nova Scotia alone has at least 3 different British-sound-alike accents that I can think of off the top of my head; Haligonians tend to sound (BBC) English, valleyfolk (South Republic) Irish, Cape Bretoners (Glaswegian) Scottish, plus two distinctly Nova Scotian accents around New Glasgow and Musquodoboit Harbour, both of which sound quite British and have a lot of British slang, but don't match any particular part of the UK

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
