Canadian accent of course. But I've studied the Canadian accent and I know exactly which answers result in that accent.

The big question is this one: Do you say ABOUT and MOUTH with the same vowel sound as LOUD and DOWN?

No Canadian should ever answer this one yes. If you have answered yes to this question and call yourself Canadian, please play again. You may think you say "about" like an american, but I'm sorry (sore-ee), you don't.

How do you say the first A in PASTA? 95%+ of Canadians will answer cat, not father.

Do you say RIGHT and PRICE with the same vowel sound as RIDE and PRIZE?

Definitely different. Typical Canadian English.

The first six questions are all Canadian mergers.

I'm interested to see what answers people gave. The quiz seems so straight forward, I would have though way more people would have gotten "Canadian".
