I mean accent is such a strange thing to say is similar. You can't compare a new York accent to Toronto. This video is a good sum https://youtu.be/9XpVHbFsLDQ?feature=shared
I mean if we support you guys, we're dead and we gained you guys 3 hours xD. Also, politically speaking I don't think anyone on Lemmy is deciding our international relations.
I grew up with Mr Bean on the CBC and Monty Python movies on CBC on Sundays.(Showing my age) I can't say for sure ether way but that's a wild assumption xD.

OMG that Newfi accent is amazing and impossible - there's no way that's a language!! It's just noise! And the presenter is hilarious "aboot, abOOT ABOOT"!!! Apparently New Foundland almost became part of the USA only becoming part of Canada by 52/48 in a referendum (same as Brexit!). I was checking out videos of Newfi and the accents seem to swing between Newfi-Scots-French-Yank-Abooty. It's great!!
I don't think the guy I met said "aboot" so maybe he was from around the border on the Eastern coast (Ontario?)?
Jordan Peterson has a strong accent - I'm gonna guess he's from Alberta? He's got the "eeeh" and "aboot, eh" going on so he's probably Northern Alberta? How close am I? Am I getting better at placing Canadian accents?
One of my friends is a newfie, best kind. He sounds almost exactly like this dude in the video but picked up some Northen slang. I don't know to much about Peterson. Probably he's from Ontario though. All of Ontario has radically different accents, I'm from the northern hell part and talk like the stereo type from the video.. But Southren can be anything from Woodbine Posh to Toronto teeth kiss special ( https://youtube.com/shorts/Lt4PYWqBo48?feature=shared )
