Poll of the Day » I'm talking to a girl from Canada, and she speaks with that crazy Frasier accent
I think its called a mid Atlantic accent. That intellectual sounding accent Frasier and Niles use. Im not sure what I expected a French-Canadian to sound like, but it definitely wasnt that.

I genuinely cant tell if shes putting on airs or if thats just how she talks.
that's hot
I have no idea what accent your trying to describe.
Far as I know we have English, French, and Newfie

Shes French Canadian but she doesnt have any semblance of a French accent, even though she speaks french fluently. I dont know how else to describe it other than that fake accent Frasier uses.

Look up the midatlantic accent.

She doesnt sound anything like Canadians do in cartoons, thats for sure. She doesnt say aboot or anything like that.

No one does.
She's Qubcois?
If shes New Brunswick, they sound like normal English speakers.

Frasier and Niles are basically doing affected elitist accents. Pretty much no one speaks it naturally - it's not a regional accent. It's basically "faux-British".

It's the accent people fake when they want to pretend to be classy/pretentious.

Yeah, so I figured. Ill have to see what her deal is as we keep talking. I dunno, could be a red flag.
She's secretly a robot attempting to mimic human behavior.

The next time she manages to get you alone she's going to harvest your organs.

Legit possibility. Canadian hospitals need them.

And French Canadians consider the human brain to be a delicacy.

Yeah, that's not a real thing. No one in Canada actually speaks like that, unless we're taking the piss and deliberately hamming up an accent.

Yeah her family all have a French accent. I think shes just trying to be proper and overdoing it.

Uh white? Blonde hair blue eyes. I think shes half French half polish. (Idk if Europeans are considered Caucasian or if thats just a term for over here, so Ill just say white.)

Shes into Spanish dudes, (of which Im not), but Im half black half white so I guess she figured brown is brown. lol
I just know old school actors like Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant used it.

Yup. Thats the one. I used to call it the Old Hollywood accent.

Idk how I missed this before. But she doesnt sound like normal English speakers. She speaks with what can only be described as an affected sounding accent.

Her mom, dad, and sister all speak with a French accent. She has no accent except the one Ive described. Even when speaking French.

Sounds like a cutie. So shes from Canada and local to you? Or you met her on an app or so and talking on text and such?

Met her on an app. But weve both distant dated before, so were no stranger to it. Were still in a talking stage right now, but Ill probably fly out for an official first date soon.

She has her own house in Canada and I have my own house here, but she said she wouldnt mind living in the US if things get serious between us down the road.

Good luck. It's far easier to emigrate to Canada than it is America. Even before Trump became president.

And here's the biggest red flag you could ever find.

No Canadian would ever do that.

Her parents are in their 80s (they had her at an old age) and her sister hasnt been helping taking care of them, using the excuse that shes married and youre single. I think thats part of it. She wants a fresh start elsewhere.

That being said, Im definitely keeping my antenna up for red flags.

She sounds insane. She wants to move to an authoritarian state?

Be sure to have your return plans set up or the border gets very upset.
Although good news, upset Canadian border guards don't arrest you and send you to a third world country to be imprisoned and tortured. Instead they will just make you get a visitor pass that says when you have to leave.

Poutine is excellent. It is indeed not exactly a dish you make for looks, though.
This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts.

Never had it but I would probably like it. I'd rather get a loaded one though. Also Nanaimo bars are my number 1 Canadian thing I want to try.
