well mystery lived in canada his whole life so he should have a canadian accent
or at least remains of it but he has none, he has an american accent hows that?
I am Canadian and American. I was born in Canada and lived in America for 8 years.
I have never really heard a Canadian accent. I watched Mike Myers (Toronto native) on Conan OBrien once start spouting some so-called Canadian accent but I dont think that is how Canadians sound. Canadians are actually hired often as news reporters, call centre agents and actors becuase they are considered "accent-less" or they sound what the industry calls "nuetral".
That being said parts of Canada have a British-sounding or Quebecouise-accent
But the whole "Sarah-Palin" accent, I have heard rarely on a Canadian. I dont know why Americans say this.
Toronto especially is filled with immigrants. Most decipherable accents are European or foriegn.
