It seems like some English-Canadians like to point out that they are different than Americans, and I can believe it, especially for social values, but for the accent, I almost see none. It is probably MUCH easier when you are English speaking to notice those differences.

On the other hand, I can see a CLEAR difference between the American & British accent. I know it in a matter of seconds.

You're not alone. The typical North American accents (Texas and the South excluded) are very difficult to tell apart if you're not Anglo Canadian or American. I've never met someone from outside of North America that didn't think I was American upon our first meeting.
