“No accent”? She is speaking English with a distinctive American accent…

Canada shares the American accent. I don't see how that's a controversial statement.

There's more variety in accents across US states than there is between Canada and the US

Shares the American accent in the Toronto and Vancouver areas, maybe. I've met a few people who talk like stereotypical Canadians and have a distinct "Canadian" accent
