If you're from the GTA, the Canadian accent will sound a little funny and unsophisticated. And vice versa. Although I've never asked someone from elsewhere what they think of the GTA accent, I'm sure a lot would say it sounds funny and unsophisticated. Though I don't think you're likely to hear many higher status people using it just like I don't think higher status people out west are going to sound like Scott Moe.
Doug Ford has a pretty obvious accent. But this guys version seems to be more influenced by the American upper Midwest. I can hear some ''Minnesoooooooota'' coming through in the Saskatchewan Premier's accent. You will never hear this in Ontario.
