Yes...but then again... Americans have different accents...depending on which region they live in (except me... I don't have an accent at all...LOL)

That Sammi girl commented back to us on that question she asked if she was controlling for telling her fiance who to talk to. I cracked up at her response. XD

Of course. Especially since there are lots of American accents, I would venture to guess there are several Canadian ones as well.

There's a subtle difference. A Canadian would pronounce the word "about" as "a-boat". They have a marked tendency to end sentences with ",eh" i.e. "That was a pretty good hockey game last night, eh?"

I've always assumed the like the Americans, the Canadians have more then one kind of accent. I mean based on the part of the country one is from. I mean I know a few different people from England. Dependent on what part of England they are from, they have very different accents.
