To English people a Canadian accent is pleasant, why lose it? One of my friends' brought up his youngest children in Australia when they were little and they had beautiful soft auzzie accents...then they came back to Birmingham....awww!

Some accents are not nice, Canadian in England is fine...trade with it!
I'm a Filipino that's trying to sound Canadian. :P I just want to achieve it because I'm the kind that likes to blend in completely with my peers. Although I must admit that if I ever live in England (which I'm actually considering), I'd probably try to sound English so I can fit in with them.
