I don't notice it but i know that i say "eh" a HELL of a lot...LOL....it's kinda like a mixture of irish/scottish/old english.....basically a bastadization of the english language.
An upper-canadian accent is extremely distinct......I'm talking rural here guys, not a toronto accent lol......as for a maritime accent, just watch "This hour has 22 minutes" and you'll get the drift.

The newfies are out east and are teh fisherman
the people in the west are a bunch of farmers who the rest of us support
I Am Canadian! -I am a minority in Vancouver, Banff, and every casino in this county
I was born in 1972, yet I am responsible for some Native's great great grandfather who screwed himself out of his land in the 1800's.
I pay import tax on cars made in Ontario.
I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but not allowed to drive without a seat belt.
All the money I make up until mid July must go to paying taxes.
I live and work among people who believe Americans are ignorant. These same people cannot name this country's new Territory.
Although I am sometimes forced to live on Kraft Dinner, and don't have a pot to piss in, I sleep well, knowing that I've helped purchase a nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled Chinese refugee.
Although they are unpatriotic and constantly try to separate, Quebec still provides my nation's Prime Ministers.
95percent of my nation's international conflicts are over fish.
I'm supposed to call black people African Canadians. Although I'm sure none of them have ever been to Africa, or east of Halifax for that matter.
I believe that paying a 200 percent tax on alcohol is fair.
Even if I have no idea what happened to that old rifle my grandfather gave me when I was 14, I will be considered a criminal if I don't register it.
I DO know Jeff from Toronto.
I often badmouth the United States, and then vacation there three times a year.
I'm led to believe that some lazy ass unionized broom pusher who makes 30 dollars an hour is underpaid and therefore must go on >strike, but paying 10 dollars an hour to someone who works 12 hour shifts at 40 below on an oil rig is fair.
I believe that paying 30 million for 3 stripes (The Voice of Fire) by the National Art Gallery was a good purchase, even though 99 percent of this country didn't want it. Or will ever see it.
When I look at my pay stub and realize that I take home a third of what I actually make. I say "Oh well, at least we have better health care than the Americans".
> I must bail out farmers when their crops are too wet or too dry, because I control the rain.
My National Anthem has versions in both official languages. And I don't know either of them.
Canada is the highest taxed nation in North America, the biggest military buffer for the United States, and the number one destination for fleeing boat people.
I am not an angry white male.
I am an angry broke taxpayer.

It's hard to find a Newf that doesn't appreciate a good Newfie joke.
I think one on the most laid back accents come from the Praries...Seen the movie Fargo. The accents made the movie.
Lived in Vancouver for 5 years...by the end of it I could'nt wait to leave. It became too much too fast for my taste.
Can't beat life on the rock. St John's has the most bars per capita in North America. Thats why we like to drink.
My second pic of a hometown would be Halifax...Fun city!

Newfie jokes were created by Newfoundlanders, so of course they don't mind. Newfoundland, as 1 province has more accents than the rest of the country combined. The difference between the accent of St. John's and Cornerbrook is night and day. I'd pretty much be able to distinguish the accents of Quebec, Newfoundland and Tignish, PEI. Everything else west of Quebec sounds the same to me. And I don't know anybody who says "eh?" very often. But even "eh?" is better than "huh?", "right?" or "ya know wa I'm sayin?"
Oh yeah. In Atlantic Canada, all of our shitty winter weather comes UP from the Eastern seaboard of the US.
