Re: Is the Accy accent changing?

Something that Canadians don't have is a variety of regional accents, unlike the English or, to a somewhat lesser extent, the Americans. The only distinctively different accents are those in the Maritime Provinces, particularly Newfoundland and Labrador, and Cape Breton. In most of the rest of Canada there is sort of a homogenised accent. I could not differentiate between a British Columbian and a Manitoban to save my life. Quebecois, of course, speak French; but it is a French with uniquely Canadian qualities.
