Ok, point out what was hostile.
Nothing about it was, and you're being offended and defensive over a benign statement. I pointed out that only 2 provinces actually have accents that are noticeable or existent in response to your whole "your accents are confusing" statement (which even if sarcastic, is what was actually hostile).
And that there aren't many things confusing about our countries differences unless you haven't actually met very many Canadians or get out to do so, other than the spelling of certain words. I'm fairly certain you're the one that's being offended and defensive here. I live right next to Canada and have been there many times, especially when I was under 21. To say you don't have accents is absurd to say the least.

Wait, that's what the argument is about? If Canadians have accents?
Good lord, BR. Yes, you do. Everywhere has an accent, unless you work to get it out of your speech. That's just how language works.

I acknowledged parts of Canada have a deeper or more noticeable accent.
Having been in the hospitality industry for well over 10 years, I've met my fair share of Americans from various parts of the US, as well as Canadians. Even without working on it, the majority of people don't have a noticeable or distinguishable accent from Canada to the US, and nothing about any noticeable accents are in any way confusing.
The DIALECTS can be different or confusing, which is also a part of how language works, but that's not mutually exclusive to accents.
because you know, that's how language works.

I didn't know it was an argument but I guess so. people from different towns have different accents, saying another country is accent free is ludicrous.

Because for starters I wasn't wrong, when I pointed out 2 areas of Canada that had very deep and notable accents. Nor did I say that we *didn't* have accents, or that our country was accent free, and you completely skipped over what I had written to make a passive-aggressive jab about me being wrong, or that I've somehow "figured out how language works".
But you know, you still haven't pointed out where anything I said in my initial statement to you was hostile in any way.

Wow, you get our accents confused, despite the only two provinces that have accents (Quebec and Newfoundland), where as they don't exist in the other provinces in comparison to the majority of the United States.
The only confusing thing between our countries would be minor spelling changes with certain words.
Or perhaps you don't get out much, or haven't actually met many Canadians.
Why in the world would anyone want to meet a Canadian in real life ?

When he said two areas of Canada have it I just imagined all of Canada split in two... Makes sense...
I never thought I really had an accent though until I went on a trip with family to AZ and the waiter at a restaurant we were at asked if we were from Chicago... I followed up by asking what kind of foul sorcery was he employing to conjur up that type of information but it was apparently just our accent...

BC has an accent, its the same accent as western WA. And Montreal's accent sounds a lot like Manhattan's dominant accent. (Be happy it isn't Brooklyn's.)

The more I like someone the more I'm willing to have a beer with them. Make that a cider and I'm in.

My 10th grade History teacher thought I was Canadian because of the way I pronounce "Halloween" (I clip the "o" a little.) Born and raised in Southern California.

I like a good strong cider.
Conveniently, there's a brand of apple juice that includes some of the pulp in the juice, instead of that golden concentrated stuff.
Tastes like cider/eating an apple pie.
