Speech pattern and typographical variations across Canada

[megadude]

When I say Doug could pass as a non-descript American, I'm not saying he doesn't sound like a Canadian, I'm saying he could be either. A non-descript speaker from either country, as in fairly neutral for a working class upbringing dude. Now he sounds more Canadian to me, but could pass as American.

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.
