That's what I used to think in my naive younger years as well. Newfies have their own accent to be sure but there certainly is a Canadian accent. Spend enough time abroad and you'll know. The realisation will start to dawn on you around the same time you can pick Americans by their accents.

Upon being forced to listen to Calgarypuck radio the other day, my Australian girlfriend noted that Grant has a really strong Canadian accent and was sad mine wasn't as strong as that any more (no doubt so that she could poke fun at me more easily).
