+Jean Wadson Alphonse Because of their french background… A lot of Quebec feels different than the rest of #Canada. It's a shame really 🙂

Now wait a minute. I'm Canadian and I don't have any accent. Let alone and endearing one.

"Out and about" is the litmus test. An Aussie backpacker once made me say that in London to prove definitively whether I was American or Canadian.

+Antone Johnson But even that is ridiculously regional. I don't know a single person that says "aboot" in Western Canada. If anyone says it that way they must be from Atlantic Canada.

I would say the accent varies greatly. I just travelled across BC and a little into Alberta, and there were some "Hoose (house) and aboot" around, but also there was a mix of accents from all the aussies, englishmen/women, kiwis, etc, that live out there.

I've heard that Canada doesn't have an accent per se, or a food, even complaints of not having a strong enough national identity. Having just visited I would strongly disagree.

The accent, even of freshly-immigrated people from the united kingdom, had changed just a bit. The pattern of speech slightly altered. Even foods like french-fries, onion-rings, steak and eggs, that are served everwhere from here to mongolia tasted just a little different.

I didn't see that many things that were overtly canadian like poutine fries and hockey, but I did see little subtle details everywhere. I think that those little differences, although hard to bullet-point, and sound-bite are the most important.

Oh sure, focus on all the good things. Let us not forget they are the harbingers of the worlds most vile creature. The French Canadian! Ruuuuuuuuun!

The aboot thing must be from Newfoundland or something because I live in NB and I've never heard it pronounced that way in my life.

I think researchers have found +Dean Reimer that those of us in Southwestern Ohio have the purest non accented English.

I am from Newfoundland & the only people I met who sounded even vaguely like they said "aboot" were from Manitoba or Saskatchewan.

+Euro Maestro +Bearman Cartoons From what I have read, the most "Neutral" American Accent is that of Nebraska. However that said, by definition, any non-accented English would have to be from England.

Bahahahahaha! Too funny. I've never met a Canadian who said 'aboot' and I have friends and family from all over this fair country,…. we've never invented leaves either tho so….. ;o)

My ex (we are Canadian and he was First Nations) claimed that accents were all just put on in order to "pull the chicks". By "accents" he meant "foreign accents". And I am not quite sure if her really meant it or not. He said a lot of junk.

And the Ottawa Valley accent is pretty close to the "aboot" accent. Irish and Scots mix.

Of course, there is also the Outaouais joual, the local Francopohone accent from the Ottawa Valley.
