and yes, that IS Geddy Lee and Rush.
Oh, so that’s what you meant on Friday. And here I was thinking you were suggesting we don’t speak with enough conviction in a more substantive way. But I’ll agree with the upnote thing. Especially for many of my countrymen from back east.
That accent was no version of Canadian though, my cross-border brother. You need to spend more time up here so you can get it right.
I agree with Rueben. That accent was execrable? I thought you were speaking Valley Girl? Which I think, comes from California?
xo Kate Zimmerman, Vancouver, BC?
You just couldn’t leave it at the apology, could ya?
Sometimes, I think you aren’t happy unless people are verbally pummelling you! I’d suggest looking into therapy for that, but that would just be mean . . . to the therapists, I mean!
Don’t ever change David! 😉
I sort of agree with Kate, but I think he came to the Valley via Scotland. My colleague, on the other hand, says he sounds like a surfer.
He doesn’t look very Canadian either. We’re much more sophistimacated.
If you want to hear a real Canadian accent, just take a native Nebraskan and shorten up the vowels a bit.

Hey, thanks for the apology David, really! Good on you.
But, um, just out of curiosity what the hell kind of accent was that you were TRYING to do???
I think he was speaking Hobbit.

Wow, that’s incredible. Canadians don’t recognize their own accent when they hear it. And some Americans don’t recognize it either!
