I was watching the men's hockey games during Pyeongchang Olympics and I noticed the commentator Christ Cuthbert having a rather thick accent. Is that a Canadian accent? I know Canada has many accents but Wikipedia shows that he was born in Brampton. I used to work in a call centre talking to people from all over Canada and people from Atlantic Provinces sometimes do have an Irish/Scottish influenced accent but have not noticed that from people from Ontario.
There is no such thing as a typical Canadian accent. Accents in Canada vary across the country from coast to coast and from region to region and may even vary from one community to the next within a single region.
Chris Cuthbert's accent sounds to me like an Ontario accent but his speech is a bit muffled because he appears to have a slight paralysis on the left side of his face and his upper teeth are rarely exposed when he's talking, as if he may be self-conscious about them. I suspect he has a full upper plate that alters his speech a bit.
BTW - in case you weren't aware, you're treading on thin ice by starting a thread about Canadian accents in the Canada forum. Such topics ALWAYS attract repeat offender newbie trolls (usually with double letters in their user names) and the threads inevitably end up getting deleted altogether or merged into the Canada Accents thread that was started 9 or 10 years ago. --> //www.city-data.com/forum/canad...ech-vowel.html

This is false. There most definitely is a Canadian accent and there is really only variations across the country.

Well, you sure called it that time. Who should show up, right on cue, but the resident infant.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I think there most definitely are several Canadian accents across the country, and there is no one typical Canadian accent. To the discerning ear they are all identifiable as Canadian accents in spite of their differences.
I never said None. Newfies are such a small portion of the Canadian population. Anways still doesn't change my point there is a Canadian accent.
