I though most canadians spoke french? or with a semi weird accent. And before you go I'm dissing yall, I'm french canadian on my mothers mother side. My great granmother /grand mother came from nova scotia. And we still have family up there
(ps what I said is a common joke said even in cartoons)

je parlez francais tres bien ;x
