I'm wondering what the OP means by a "Canadian" accent, since Canada has a variety of accents and dialects. I not only live in Canada, but in Nova Scotia where everyone supposedly has a quaint Irish or Scottish accent. But I've been told that mine is very neutral. Anyway, why do people care so much? I should be allowed to speak in the way that come naturally to me, and it's not like I'm swearing and using bad grammar constantly.
If you've ever watched the South Park movie, or South Park in general, it's a bit of an in joke on there about how some Canadians talk "funny", like they say "aboot" instead of "about" and stuff
