And I would never consider that a strong Canadian accent. To me that would be people out west. I consider his a caker accent. A sub category we placed on older people than us when discussing with my generation from the GTA.

That home improvement guy I posted earlier is also Canadian (or Ontario), but not strong IMO in terms of a "Canadian" accent.

And yes, some of this is based on your own ear and POV from how you grew up.

See to me he sounds like a hoser.
