Most English accents are easily recognizable. North American, Southern Hemisphere or European is a no-brainer. I can distinguish a Scot from an Englishman, pick out an Irish accent easily. Within England, several regional accents like Liverpudlian, Northeastern and cockney. Across the Atlantic, the New york / New Jersey or Southern accents are instantly recognizable too. I can even hear the difference between a South African and Australian.

I don't however hear the difference between an Australian and a New Zealander.

Nor can I tell an American and a Canadian apart. I have to rely on spotting those Maple Leafs which Canadians, being the friendly loving neighbours they are, brandish on every piece of clothing they wear when abroad so nobody mistakes 'em for Americans.

So, I've got two simple questions for you all:

What should I listen for when trying to make out a Canadian or a New Zealand accent?

Secondly, apart from language, what are tell tale signs of Canucks and kiwi's in other respects?
