Pretty sure he was talking about Canada...like actual Canada. Not the person.

You should have understood that Row.

I don't mind some newfie accents. It's just when they start using a lot of slang.

So many people hating on Southern accents. /sigh Oh well.
I don't particularly dislike any accent. I think a lot of the time they can be funny, but I guess it's more of stuff like what Slip and Krizz said. If I can't understand them because their accent is so thick, and if they stick to using slang from their dialect then I become frustrated.
What I think is more funny/frustrating is when someone has an accent, but then they deny that they have one. Such as most of my friends from the New England area. It only gets frustrating though, when they start making fun of other accents to boost their self-esteem. It generally starts with Southerner bashing. :(
I've lived in Georgia for the majority of my life(currently do), but during my formative years my family constantly moved. I lived in Panama Central America, first in a near slum like house with a landlord, then on the military base. I lived a couple years in Maryland. I traveled a lot in the southwest. My local friends say I don't have an accent, but I think otherwise. I know sometimes, especially when I talk slowly, that I start to drag my words and dip my toes in a Southern drawl. My friends from New England think either that my accent is unbearablely heavy, or that I sound like I am from Texas. Everyone else says something different, but I definitely have something unique/noticeable going on with my voice! xD

/confess
I discovered a completely useless talent twenty seven years ago when I worked at Mickey D's. I could perfectly mimic anyone's accent that came through the drive through. I would open with an announcer voice that sounded prerecorded "It's a great day at...." when they pulled up to the speaker then echo whatever accent/inflection they used to order and then when they pulled up to the window I would use my normal voice. They would look around inside to see if anyone else was in there with me and if they asked I would tell them the speaker person was in the office and I just took the money.
/apologize
I'm sorry that really should have been a better story instead of just some weird half remembered rambling from yesteryear. I would give you the time you wasted reading it back if I could.

Southern accents in the US is soo.. manly :P
The rest of the world sees americans that speak with a southern accent like a hillbilly and a cowboy xD
That's what the media shows us, so that's how it is!

I've lived in or around Cleveland my entire life.
I am envious of any and all accents.

Deep south for me. Had a math teacher from the south as well as my aunt.
Not enough babies in the world to insert my fists into their faces.

Thunderz's accent amuses me as well, but I've gotten used to it. At first I did struggle to understand him. His brothers are no better xD

I think so. He knows French, I know that much.
I doesn't matter which country or what language there is always that regional dialect that makes you cringe.
Mine include the Pineywoods Deep East Texas accent, CenLA, Creole, and the Northern Mid-West accent (think Minnesota and Wisconsin).
