Hey, no "dissing" the Tasty Canadians, eh? Even on a Friday! There are indeed many diction (accent) similarities between "Canadian," "New England," and "Southern US" regional dialects and they all relate directly to Middle English language roots. I did some research on this in my undergraduate life and probably still have the paper kicking around somewhere. Even did a field trip to Charleston, SC to confer with linguistics experts there and got sidetracked into Gullah and Gichi. It was only the luck of a temporary job that caused me to become a technical writer instead of a language detective!
