Every time I'm down in Vegas and playing at a table, I like to have people guess where I'm from based on my accent. The majority guess that I'm a local or that I'm from California-No one has guessed Canada yet.
And I'm the exact opposite. Hell, I've had people from Ontario poke fun at what they considered an uber-Canadian accent. It all depends what part of the country you're from.
