Russell Peters are one of my favorite performers. His jokes are mostly about out modern multi cultural society, how different ppl speak English, stuff like that. The guy himself has indian origins so some of the things come first hand. In this exact video he actually makes a statement that white canadian ppl have accent as well ...

Well every country seems to have an accent compared to their own country, but we really don't sound any different than americans. The rare times you think you hear them is probably from some hic town people or whatever, and almost every country has those hic towns everywhere. When I went to the US no body for the love of god could tell I wasn't from the states. It's a complete generalization and honestly it really pisses me off. After all, no body mentions anything about Chill's accent or whatever whenever he speaks.

He is right about the swearing part, but I disagree with the erratic head motions.

This is a more indicative of maritime Canada I think. Very few people speak like this in the West.

Yeah only hicks and rig pigs speak like that anywhere that isnt an island.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Oh goodness me, FOX tv where do you get your sight? Can't you keep track, the puck is black. That's why the ice is white.

I can't tell the difference from an American and a Canadian accent. So if Canadians have an accent American's have the exact same one. OH WAIT THAT IS A NORTH AMERICAN ACCENT!!!!

Canadians and Americans definitely have slightly different accents, it's quite easy to tell them apart..

Yeah we have some sort of accent different from Americans but not that different, I mean normal Canadian accent not French Canadian accent and normal American accent not southern or that weird New Yorker accent that some Americans have that I find annoying. No offence of course.

I take it none of you fellow canadians have been to Alberta before. He nails about 80% of construction workers perfectly. I work in construction, and I have literally met HUNDREDS of men that use that EXACT same language, and move their heads the exact sameway. 90% of the time, it's when 1 guy is tellin a story, and a couple guys are listening. The guy tellin the story will shake his head along with the story, and EVERY person listening to it, is typically shaking their head usually in "understanding". He literally gets it spot on with the Alberta Construction worker (females included)

As a side note, every jobsite i've ever been to (im a sub contractor), the majority of the workers use the word "fuck" almost every 2nd word in each sentence they produce. Actually just today at work , my brother who also works with me...had to use the washroom, and of course he had to let us know in the typical alberta way. Eg. "Jesus fucking christ I have to fuckin piss sooooooo fuckin bad its making my fuckin safety glasses fog up." And thats pretty mild compared to most things.

yeah, I worked in construction for a few years and swears are the most common words you will hear. The job can be pretty rough and stressful though so its pretty hard to not swear constantly.

Going on the assumption that this is sarcasm, foreign students taking english as a second language consistently report that Canadian teachers speak clearer, easier to understand english than those from the US, England, etc.

Of course, defining "accent" as a difference in pronunciation, emphasis and tone between seperate regions speaking the same language means everyone in the world obviously has an accept from the POV of someone else. But the above is still worth noting- the region which speaks the language in such a way that it can be clearly understood by the greatest number living abroad and/or is in best keeping with the origins of the language could, by some, be considered to be speaking in a neutral accent.
