Only Newfies speak with a "Canadian" accent
Simply false.

Every area of the WORLD has differences in inflection of words from people within their own countries. Look at the USA...the NE is a far cry from the SE and even further from how those speak in the NW.

Its the same in Canada...not as pronounced but it is there. To this day I will say certain words and folks native to this area will look at me and ask me to pronounce them again.

its no big deal and part of what makes melting pots like the US AND Canada so cool.
