I should tell you the Newscasters in the United States emulate the Canadian accent because of how neutral it is. Many newcasters working in the U.S are in fact Canadian hired due to their neutral accent. Little known fact.
If you are from Southern Ontario, then you do have an accent, and I could identify it immediately. I work with Ontarians and their accent is unmistakable, even compared to adjacent areas lf the U.S. like Michigan.
We don't (except for Quebec and Newfoundland). I'm from southern Ontario and I don't have a Canadian accent, neither do I know or have I ever met anyone else that does. We sound exactly like Americans, I see zero difference in how a Canadian speaks and how an american speaks with a general american accent. We're exactly the same! Why do you people in the states get the impression that we have accents and say aboot? that's ridiculous.
Some Canadians do have accent it not as strong as UK or other english countries but is there.
The way they say house , out and ride/write . Also the word about.
People in the US say ( house) HRRRRUUUZZ where Canada more HRRRows .More rouded with strong pronunciation OU.
In the US the U drawn out.
In the US about is ABRRT some times bout where people in Canada more abooout.More rowded.

People in west coast of the US and west coast of Canada speak more flat and softer where Southern Ontario the voice goes up a lot.
Sounds like they are asking a question all the time or surprised.

No newscaster in the US I've ever heard sounds like any Canadian I've ever heard.
There is no "neutral accent". It's still a type of accent. It may be neutral to YOUR ears (because maybe it is similar to YOUR accent), but not to others'.
Everyone everywhere has an accent, especially when you're asking someone from somewhere else.

Like I said in other thread newscasters in the US or newscasters in Canada DO NOT sound like people of the country.They have special training to talk really fast and the way they talk it is very un-neutral .
Well, it starts with exchanging dollars for "Doe-lers" and in the "Proe-cess" of doing so, ....[the upward lilt at the end of a sentence]
That too. A lot of people in Canada seem to put more emphases on pronunciation of last syllable where people in the US put more emphases on pronunciation of first syllable .
People in US say doller is more like dulla.The R is dropped.
People in Canada also over pronunciation of the R in doller.
