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).
Yeah I guess I don't notice Canadian accents, but i've traveled throughout the US quite a bit, and no one has ever comment on me having any sort of accent. Other than I say 'eh' probably more than I should
