If you hear a North American accent it is always good policy to assume the speaker is Canadian (unless it is a very pronounced American accent). Americans will not feel chafed for being confused with Canadians but Canucks will not be happy about being thought American.On a visit to Australia I won full marks from a young Canadian woman for correctly spotting her nationality from her accent. Apparently I was the first person in three months who hadn't instantly assumed she was from the USA. Having a mother-in-law raised in Toronto might have helped.
Same goes, I assume, for those who have trouble with NZ vs Australian accents. I’ll always chose the former to be safe.
