  1. I don't know.Do you?


  2. I'm pretty sure all (naturally born) Canadians have Canadian accents. but of course it differs depending on the part of Canada

  3. Travel to Canada .You will find out that Americans have alot of stereotypes on Canadians , like the ones you just stated are some if you said .

    Do all canadians have accents ?? Well do all americans have accents ??

    Not very much but you will find some parts like Newfoundland that do and of course french canadians when speaking english you can tell their accents

  4. There is no such thing as a Canadian accent. The accents vary according to the region in which a Canadian lives. Maritimers do not pronounce words the same way  as Ontarians do, and Ontarians do not speak the same way as people in BC. Inside each province there are also regional accents. i don't know where you learned to speak, but you are only right about "water" as /wader/ - middle /t/ tends to be pronounced as /d/ by most speakers of English. Most people say "tomorrow" like /t'more-o/. Forgive the simplistic transcriptions - I can't find the proper phonetic symbols on my computer.This has nothing to do with accent, but more with how quickly one speaks. So if all speakers of English spoke more slowly, they would pronounce the words correctly.

    Incidentally, accenting inthe US and UK are also regional phenomena. It happens to be the same story for most languages.

  5. hahaha, you're funny.

  6. all canadians!!!!!!!      maybe i'm wrong

  7. eh?

  8. So sorry to hear that your schooling was lacking

    I say about like about, and almost as al most, tomorrow as to morrow, water as wa ter. And all Canadians that finished highschool.

  9. There are many different types of Canadian accents. They differ from region to region.
