Why do Canadians speak with merican accent?
Very strange and confusing.

The Mexicans don't have a merican accent so why do Canadians have it?

Canadians should have their own accent. Merican is copyrighted and reserved.

Canadians speak with a Canadian accent, and it's blatantly obvious if you listen long enough. Lemme guess--you probably think Koreans, Chinese and Japanese all sound alike, too.

As a person who lives in the United States there are a lot of accents. People from New York talk different from a person in California. A person who lives in Louisiana talk different from a person from Massachusetts.
They really do have their own accent, it's somewhat similar but not the same. Kinda like the Australian and New Zealand accent.
For me I’m from California. So I like to shorten words into 1 word.

For example I say “Imma, Hella, Gunna”. I also emphasize words like “like”. “Like… you knowww…..?”
Americans and Canadians sound like the Nobility of the past going back some time.

The educated tinny type voice that was popular in the early to mid 20th century was from the 'intellectual' type class of priviledge - kinda.

AND
Take note where many are from the strong accents mergin like Scots irish and all there nuances and Cornish and so on.

Yes, it's so obvious, especially with words that have "ou" and "oh" in them. Americans pronounce these with a hard "ow" and "oh" but they do it in a softer way that sounds like "oo" to the American ear. That's why they sometimes get parodied as pronouncing words with a hard oo, like, "I doon't know what you're talking aboot."
They're our bretheren. But this fixing of games in the NHL is getting old :steamfacepalm:
I mean, they are North American.
So you're not only saying that you've never heard a Canadian speak without saying so, you're doing the same for Americans. Because we've got multiple accents here in this great nation that is by and large the only one worth ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ living in.

Plus which part of Canada are you even referring to? Furthermore, are you simply referring to the Anglos who stole Canada from the French or the actual Canadians? Because Canada is like the United States of America in that it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ huge. And while not nearly as big as the only nation in the world worth living in, Canada still runs along most of the United States of America's northern border.

This is like seeing news about a massive wildfire in California then messaging your buddy in Missouri to see if they're alright. Only for you to be told that it's on the other side of the country.

Even google ai answers thinks atlantic canadians should identify as "appalachian".

You cant even make this stuff up.

Canadians, particularly those in eastern Canada, should consider themselves Appalachians due to the shared geography of the Appalachian mountain range extending into Canada, as well as common cultural, historical, and economic ties. The Canadian portion, sometimes called Appalachia Canada, shares a similar geological history, resource-based economy, and cultural traditions with its American counterparts, creating a strong case for a shared Appalachian identity.

Lmao, appalachians were born out of the activists and soldiers who fought for americas freedom.

Why the heck would canada consider themselves appalachian when they never even left the crown?

Ill tell you living up here with the whole "elbows up" thing was really eye opening as well.

canadians have no desire to be americans, and i am completely fine with that
