i apologise; i did not mean to say that the accent areas i listed were distinct from the USA.
You're very right; the west coast style superceeds our border, for example.

@LiamUe I know there are differences across canada but when it comes to distinguishing states closer to our boarders say, my southern ontario accent vs. a rochester NY accent, there are only slight differences I find. Or someone living in BC near the coast may sound not exactly but identical to a californian accent. My point is there isn't drastic differences in some cases.

West Coasters sound slightly different than the Prairie dwellers, who sound different from the Northern Ontarians (who sound slightly Minnesotan, for comparison), who sound different from the Southern Ontarians, who of course speak a different language than the French, who speak various dialogues and accentations /all/ across the provinces and territories); on the east coast are the Newfoundlanders and the Maritimers. Canada has lots of accents.

It is unbelievable that stockholders of international corporations control these componys actions of destroying the envirement, getting rid of jobs and hurting countries finances just so these stockholders can make a quick buck.
The system in its intirety is failing. So how could anybody continue supporting politicians and political partys hoping to "free up" our markets.
p.s. sorry about the spelling mistakes I made I am used to writing in german

Freeing up the markets by keeping a transaction fee from being possible in europe is total BS especialy for a country with such a great financial deficit. There is no need to free up the markets but to limit the possibilities of investment banks who are gambling with our money with new laws. It is unbelievable that banks all around can gamble with our money take high risks, loose their money and be bailed out with countries help just to start over again.

@2whitsbury I would like to see this country become a true meritocracy for one. Sad to say, but at this time, to be a success in this country depends more on who you know rather than what you know. That's no way for a modern technological society to be.

Clap for 2 hours.

@QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER It is hard to differentiate our accents unless we're from newfoundland(irish sounding) and quebec(french province). But anywhere else in Canada I hate to agree, but we do have similar accents to the americans. However, Americans can differentiate us just fine. Just like different parts of your small country you will find that our accents change across the american continent.

@QUEENAHIDEKINGFISHER it's nothing major, think of it as different accents across England. I know people in Newcastle have different accents than people in London. People in Toronto will have different accents than people in Buffalo NY

Kinda makes you want to puff up your chest and walk tall doesn't it? What a great speech. It sure makes you feel proud if you think of what Canada has contributed to the world in the past 100 years.
