That's funny though because when they visit here(remember I live in Niagara Falls and I work in a MAJOR retail store), we can hear the accent. They hear ours too.

My husband's favorite Canadian joke: hehee Vibrissa, they say we Texans are not polite! BEHIND our backs they say we are cocky and arrogant!  We would say it to your face, we are just to scairt that you would SHOOT us.  Well, we would!! Listen, I had to DRAG it out of my poor customer. We have the best time together. He is a hoot! But very, very, overly polite. He says that Texans are big hearted behind all the swagger. But he loves living here now!

Come on. I use to tell my wife it's like the McKenzie brothers and moose and beer.
Go forward 10 years and watching brother bear, I almost gave myself a hernia laughing when the moose turned out to be the M-brothers.

I have outlaws on both sides of the country... and of course I meant province or Pro-vince.
It took years for my wife to say produce and process correctly... well worth the language lessons.

We LOVE the Mackenzie brothers. What we love even more, living in Niagara, is seeing the Americans, in July, come over the Rainbow bridge with SKIS, YES SNOW SKIS, strapped to their roof. It is 34 degrees(93 F) here today. The only snow you are gonna see is out behind the ice rink.

I LOVE tea. Of course I drink it SWEETENED. I don't like baseball. And yes, we have a hockey team called the Calgary FLAMES. Here's their website in case you need to buy some tickets.

RUSH? Argh. NOT Rush.
Finger Eleven. Sum 41. Barenaked Ladies. The Tea Party. Our Lady Peace. THOSE are just SOME bands that I would have allowed.

NOW THAT made me laugh. Yea, we are threatening. What are we going to do, take away your hydro power(which BTW we sell to the States and then buy back for MORE money, sounds SMART doesn't it?). Are you all scairt of our USED warships that we bought from the British Navy? The ships that were 100 years old and full of holes? We are such LOSERS when it comes to Military equipment.
Our best military invention was the Avro Arrow and they got rid of it. DUH. STUPID.
