Does she sound Canadian?


She plays a Canadian on HIMYM, but her accent doesn't give it away... I think. Also, she doesn't sound Canadian in real life.

Whay do you think?

Sure everyone has a "Canadian Accent" just like everyone in England has an "English" accent. However in North America we have something we call a "non regional diction" which refers to an accent which isn't really specific to a state or region like for example the New York or Boston accents in the US or the Newfoundland accent in Canada. I guess what I'm saying is the concept of one Canadian accent is the same as there being one accent for all of the UK. (especially because we even have our own bastardized version of french :)
