[quote=The Nexerus] There are a ton of regional differences in Canada. BC, the Territories, the Prairies (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba), Ontario, Quebec, the Maritimes and Newfoundland all have individual characteristics that separate them from each other. Then there are all of the variances inside of those regions, such as between Northern and Southern Ontario. [/quote] Yes, but it's not quite the same. I lived in BC when I was knee high to a gopher. I've been back there multiple times in my life to visit family, and the differences were just... Not very pronounced. The accents were virtually on par, the overall cultural feelings were the same. The differences were there, they were just subtle enough that they didn't interfere at all in how I interacted with the people around me. (Save some of the immigrants from the orient and their neighbourhoods--I stayed away for certain lovely reasons.) The States' it's like... I've heard all sorts of different accents from there, seen all kinds of cuisine, and... It's not quite the same as it is here. It's more pronounced there, the differences I mean. EDIT In all honesty though, could be my rose tinted sunglasses not letting me see what is right in front of me. Oh well.
