Canadians talk fairly plain, no accents unless you are French Canadian. Many immigrants come here and are learning English language after they arrive so they have an accent. We do use “eh” sometimes but its at the end of a sentence, to check you get the message. You understand eh.

Sounds somewhat like Guyanese pidgin, but even a scant distance of sea miles has affected the inflection.
