Why not just go and live in Alabama for a few years. That should neutralize your Canadian accent--and everyone will be very impressed by your accent ;)
should I learn Canadian English
yes I'm American with a so-called Canadian accent.I say "eh?" which to me means "huh?"(ex: so youre going to dinner,huh?")my "out" is noticed.I picture in my mind people who laugh at accents also laugh at homeless people and handicapped people.Jumpin'!!!
**you never know if they're really serious about their nationality until you get 'em down to their skin...) **
Nowhere the pin the badges then but who cares about badges or nationality when it's a "down to the skin" situation!

I guess you can forgive them for being Canadian at that point, Damian. Briefly. Until they get dressed again. And then it's out the door, maple syrup boy!
I grew up in Arkansas and a lot of people said my English was substandard too. So I took pronunciation classes. Then I realized that I was only pretending to be someone else.
Speak the way you speak. There is no SUBSTANDARD English as long as you can make yourself understood. And to hell with any snob who tells you different.

is there even such a thing as substandard english? hell no.
you know, it's funny how many people ask me to say "out and about" and then are surprised when i don't say "oot and aboot" .... it's only the newfies that say it like that...and only a few newfies with the heavy accents. and eh is not said after every two words, it's basically just the replacement for huh

but do you say ah-oo or uh-oo? Do you use the same vowel in 'out' as you do in 'loud'?

***Shut the fuck up you fucking fucker***
Are you practising your alliteration skills or simply in need of widening your vocabulary? Maybe a humour transplant, CD.
The most mind numbingly boring dreary person with the personality of a housebrick I ever met in my life so far was some weirdo from a place called Thunder Bay...I know it's in Canada because that was about the most interesting thing the guy told me. I'm glad I had my fellow animated Scottish mates with me.
The Club, Uriel?.......erm, the same Club you lot would have been in but for a wee argie-bargie back in 1776......

It's not so much the issue that there are NO differences between Canadian and American, as much as that "WELL-SPOKEN" North American English tends to neutralize into pretty much the same thing for both countries.
Oh, THAT club!
Well, I guess that makes us the Groucho Marx of the ex-colonies -- we wouldn't want to join any club that would have us as a member!
Yup, Thunder Bay's in the Great White North, and you probably now know more about it than I do, courtesy of your housebrick.

What exactly do you mean by "well-spoken"?
