accents

A while back, there was an 'intrepid journey'( or something else like that) where Paul Henry went to the north of Norway to meet a guy that takes people out to fish for north atlantic salmon up in the artic almost.

Anyways, when Paul was in Norway he came said something like (I paraphrase):

"All the norwegian men are very slick. They dress well. In fact, it looks like they're all gay".

He then proceeds to crack up and say things like - oh you can't keep that, I can't say that. It was quite funny.

My point? The toronto-ian accent is odd. Like New york accent with a lifting, twangy sound (to my ear) which rises and falls quite often. On the girls it sounds like they are all 17 and so eager to talk. On the guys - well, honestly? It sounds like they are all gay.
