    ? Are you sure. They do not seem that way to me. I would say New England WASP accents are generally a fine version of US English but the lower classes have an annoying accent.

    No you fuck off the accent is not entirely the same and differs based on regions. I know I have been to Canada 10 times and lived there briefly.

    You must of been to Newfoundland or something cause I can assure you the majority Canadians accents are the same as American. Especially in the more populated areas like Ontario and Alberta.

    Ontario shares some similarities with New Yorkers in the upper valley but that is it. Nova Scotia they still speak Gaellic, Quebec is French, Newfoundland sounds very different etc.... I would say Alaskans sound closer to canadians than Americans. I am saying the accent of a Canadian I can easily pick up on....I am a New Englander and our accents are different.

    She actually sounds pretty damn similar to people from the UP area of Michigan. I think they sound funny lol. And no she does not sound Irish much at all. My one grandmother was from Ireland and sounded nothing like that when she talked.

    Not at all. My parents have upper Midwest accents, not even remotely close to Irish sounding.

    I cannot do american accents except for Southern accents which I find easy enough to do. Dont know why that is. New York accents are not nice to listen to but others, like the minnesota accent sounds neutral.
