Atlantic Canada has it's own accent. Especially Newfoundland. And Janszoon is right, I also find that Nova Scotians have a little Scottish twinge to some of their words. And yeah, the name means New Scotland so it's fitting
Yeah, I figured it would be difficult for people other than Americans or Canadians to hear each accent. My boyfriend has said the only true American accent he can pick out is a Southern accent. It's easy for him to pick out American and British accents though.
