Canadian Accent, part 1

So about 4 years ago I turned on my webcam and just started talking about Canadian's accents. I didn't have a script and didn't really have a point, I just really started rambling about it. I posted this video on youtube and somehow over the years it has gotten 100,000+ views.

video in question:




I was kinda stunned at the "success" of this video, so I figured I should follow it up with another video on the same subject Again, I just recorded myself rambling, and I'm pretty sure I had a few drinks before making the video as well.. maybe that explains it a bit.


This video never had quite the success of the first one, getting about 25,000+ views, likely due to them having already suffered enough from watching part 1. I was still pretty surprised that it had even this many views. I figure that people around the world have an interest in accents and the differences in culture from one country to another. 

 Anyways, today I realize how kinda silly my whole "rant" in the videos are. There is no one single all encompassing Canadian accent, just like there is no one lone American or English accent. People's accents are regional and Canada is a very large country, so Canadians speak with many unique accents as you have everything from Atlantic Canada accents to Québécois accents and too many more to mention.
