The funny thing is, people in the US have both of these opinions about the same accent. A lot of them thing HERP DERP, and another large group find them pleasant.
Tis a crazy thing.
stereotypes lol
A lot of Canadians always reminded me of people from like North Dakota and the Great Lakes region to the North.
Aren't you American?
I think the whole t->d thing is common to all Western American accents. I grew up near San Francisco and say broodle, eadding and reddicle instead of brutal, eating and reticle.

Did it work?
The Southern accent is a left over of an English accent so it is probably easier for them to pick up than say a Brooklyn or a standard Midwest.
Damn my timing.
Be good [chat]ters.
Fluffy Cass and I are all from Toronto-area and we do all of those things.
Christopher Plummer's Canadian.
It's such a girly show, I don't understand why I'm watching it.
I thought YOU were American too.
My worldview lies before me in pieces.
I suck with names and where people are from. 90% of the time someone post a name in [chat] I have to google it.
Also he was talking about European and British actors.
ugh
they walk among us

I would guess because it's a more distinct accent, and they feel it easier to affect then a more nuanced one. I would compare it to an american trying to do a Scottish accent rather then a middleclass London one. The former has more affectations you can over do, and have the audience instantly pick up on.
All the best shows have female main characters.
Buffy, Daria...

Since you have your degree apply to about anything that looks like entry level online. Its how I got my current two interviews.

People from BC generally sound indistinguishable from norther Californians or people from Washington. People from Ontario sound pretty much like whatever US state they are closest to. Albertans sound a little distinct, but not enough that most people can tell them apart.
The ones that people really notice are Maritimers and Quebecois, because those are very sharply distinct (and in the case of Quebecois, comes from another language) and do not have an American equivalent.
I'm told often I have an "odd accent" because my flat Ontarian accent is a put on, my natural Pavee accent bothers the shit out of me and over the years I've smothered it in trying to sound like every other Ontarian.
Not retail but try Bonefish Grill if there's one nearby. Pretty great place to work for.
Yeah, I figure I'll end up working some obscure corner of some office or shop or something for now. But meeeeh income.
I was thinking about Inside Man. That also has Christopher Plummer. What the fuck.
Veronica Mars is the best show.
YES!
what does Pavee sound like
Say no more say no more
nodge nodge
Now it does have associations, but like Daxon said, it's really really hard to pin down what they are.
