When someone uses "North America" outside of a scholarly context you can safely assume they're Canadian
>>223852798Huh, I assume Mexican cause they call us "Estados Unidos de Norteamerica" because they always be coping and seething
>>223852798Possibly Mexican
>>223853238>>223853235Yeah but Mexicans look different and speak Spanish so it's immediately obvious where they're from.Canadians are a lot harder to tell apart especially with ESLs without a great ear for regional accents.
>>223853291>with ESLsfor*
>>223852798Lmao
>>223853291Canadians outside of like Nova Scotia don’t have an accent anymore, they all just sound like they’re from California
>>223855776The average Canadians still says "abewt" and it's immediately obvious, but yeah not everyone has the super stereotypical canuck accent, in some ways people from Minnesota and Wisconsin sound more "Canadian" than many Canadians.
>>223855776>californiayou can tell when they come from the great lakes tho
>>223855776Newfies are the ones with the strong accents that almost sound Irish. Nova Scotians sound pretty much like the rest of Canada. Watch the Trailer Park Boys if you want to hear a Nova Scotia accent.
>>223857701What accent does he have? particularly the way he says words like "card" and "farm" is interesting. (funnily enough I just looked up a random video of his for demonstration purposes and within the first minute he uses "North America")https://youtu.be/oiQ6SgBzfqY
bump
>>223855776No way I can instantly clock a Canadian. They speak 10% slower than everybody else, in a really clear, almost mocking manner: like a kindergarten teacher explaining something to an ESL child. I think it's why everybody finds them so annoying.
>>223857701Newfies have a dialect. It's Canada's equivalent to southern Appalachia
The only time I’ve heard the term North America outside of school is for the nato or trade agreements
>>223862434Every Canadian on YouTube uses it (but not just YouTube).
>when someone uses north americaI dont get it ?
>>223862482An American talking about a phenomenon that is related to them will often just say "in America/the US," a Canadian doing the same will often say "in North America."This may not happen much when Canadians are talking to each other as the context is implicitly understood, and I'm not there to hear your conversations, but when addressing an international audience Canadians will often attach themselves to the "North America" label. Like an American speaking about how car-centric their country is will just rant about American city design, a Canadian doing it will rant about North American city design. I hope that clarifies.
>>223862620Americans can’t see past America. We recognize that car centric cities are a problem that extend to Canada, Mexico and the USA which is all of North America
>>223863088yeah americans forget canada exists
>>223864828I mean, it’s kind of a carbon copy of America. Only Québec is unique. Vive le Québec libre.
>>223857701I can't begin to explain to you how wrong you are.
>>223865350What's wrong about what he said?
>>223855776>>223855776If they're from Toronto they slur their words alot
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/o1gvEmt0p7kThis is how people from Toronto talk now
>>223865475It's like trying to explain a law of reality. He's saying Nova Scotians sound like people from Halifax, like no shit most Nova Scotians live in Halifax. There are multiple regions in Nova Scotia, people in the Valley sound different to Haligonians, who sound different to people in Antigonish, who sound completely different to Cape Bretoners.
>Vive le Québec libre.
>>223865569So it's a case if the city having a generic accent while the country retains older regional accents, that's pretty common.What other Canadian accents stand out to you? Do people from Vancouver sound different from those in Toronto?
