Quite a bit. Trailer Park Boys captures the lower Maritime accent (New Brunswick/Nova Scotia). Upper Maritime accent is basically Newfoundland, and for that accent, imagine a Scottish person trying to impersonate a Canadian accent.

Quebec is odd. Montrealers who grow up learning English have a very neutral accent, similar to an Ontario accent (which I'll get to in a second). If you didn't grow up speaking English, you definitely have an accent similar to a French accent, which is only natural. Quebec French, if you're curious, is much harsher and faster than Parisian.

Southern Ontario accents are very similar (oddly) to a Californian accent. Most Canadians you'd see in popular media will likely have this accent. Oddly, Letterkenny is based off a small, southern Ontarian town (Listowel, which is an hour away from where I grew up), and I have never heard that accent before.

Northern Ontario/Manitoba accents I can't really speak to.

Saskatchewan is the stereotypical Canadian accent (aboot and eh). Not as bad as everyone says, but that's likely where it came from. Alberta is similar to this as well. BC is this, put through a Washington State filter.
