I have to disagree about the people "out east" having the weirdest accents. In my experience the most stereotypical "Canadian" accents are from the Saskatchewan area. I'm from Newfoundland and Labrador and most Newfies definitely have a strong accent, but the only people I've ever heard say "eh" are from Saskatchewan. I don't think that Newfies are even part of the stereotypical Canadian accent though, its just a place of its own :P I'm from Labrador though, so I have more of a "Mainland" accent
@proteuseffects That's funny because the last time I was in Europe two guys from California guessed I was from Vancouver just from my accent and my shoes.
@MitchellWadeHarris Yes but we say Mum instead of Mom. I had a group of girls from New Zealand point this out to me and said it was cute when I was little. I replied with "You talk funny." true story.
Don't let this bother you. Even in different parts of the united states, people have different names for things. Radiator is pronounced two different ways.
@mikemaninblack How can you pronounce radiator differently? And I figure either soda or pop is correct since originally it was called Soda Pop. I didn't move to California. I'm giving Vancouver a year to smarten it's act up or I'm jumping ship.
Lol I think you sound pretty normal, actually. The questions were interesting, though. You gave a few answers I haven't heard before. No judgments here!

@coolstream1 Most people just call it a Lab. When ever I hear people say the whole thing I hear it said like that.
