Canadian, Eh!

Canadian, Eh!

For those of you who keep thinking that all of our Friends and Neighbours to our north in Canada, sound like those two characters on "Second City TV", namely two guys called "Bob & Doug Mac Kenzie", guess again:

Those from Ontario, as they do come from Celtic Heritage, and those in Quebec(French Canadians are descendents of those from Brittany in France, hence Celtic), tend to speak with that accent, so parodied on SCTV on CBC. That accent is so-eastern Canadian;

Yet, personally, I know a Country-Western Singer called Serena Jean Southam, who is from British Columbia & has no bit of the Eastern Style accent. Neither does another native of BC, a certain Left Fielder from Trail, BC called Jason Bay, sound anything like either Mac Kenzie Brother.

Though raised in Ontario, Mr Peter Mansbridge does not sound anything like a Mac Kenzie Brother. Having worked as a terminal announcer in an airport in Central Canada, Mr Mansbridge, currently the Chief Correspondent and Anchor of CBC's "The National", my favorite Newscast, sounds a bit closer to one Mr Peter Jennings, a Canadian who was Chief Correspondent for ABC News.

Please, the current Prime Minister from Western Canada, Mr Steven Harper, sounds more like that western part of the nation and not like a hoser like Bob Mac Kenzie, even though Mr Harper is a native of the Toronto Area.

Not all Canadians sound the same. Neither do all natives of The Borough of Brooklyn sound the same.
