Canadian accent

What do you do when you don't feel like working on a paper and people are generally pissing you off so that you can't concentrate on anything and you want to hurl someone or something out a 10 storey building? I look at cuteoverload and then I do dumb quizzes like this:
What American accent do you have?

North Central. This is what everyone calls a "Minnesota accent." If you saw "Fargo" or "Drop Dead Gorgeous" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Some Americans may mistake you for a Canadian.

Canada. You probably get irritated when British people and Europeans think you're from the States, but over here we wouldn't make a mistake like that.

Take this quiz now - it's easy!
We're going to start with "cot" and "caught." When you say those words do they sound the same or different?

Maybe the people who made up the quiz forgot that Hawaii is a state instead of a foreign country so it's not included in there. I have seen so many tourism ads/articles targeted at stupid people that says stuff like, you don't need a passport to come to Hawaii!

I noticed that Hawaiians have a very distinct accent. I cannot put my finger on it but after meeting a handful of people from the islands, some of whom don't know each other, I realized they sound alike.
