Well, as YVR Cockroach says, we *all* have accents -- and of course speech patterns, which can be as revealing as actual pronunciation. Completely unscientifically, I think the traditional stereotypical Canadian "aboot" and "eh" is perhaps not as common in the western provinces as in the east, but I can often still tell if someone I'm talking to in WA is actually from BC -- particularly if they say the word "sorry" or "process".
