Having grown up within three miles of the Canadian border, visiting all the time and quite often enjoying CBC, yes I am well aware that it is a land of many varied manners of English speech (not to mention French). For that matter, people from different parts of the mid-atlantic or New England speak differently as well. I just didn't want to forget about our cousins to the north when asking which "American" accent was closest to 18th century English.
