15 Jun An Americanized Canadian?

Last Sunday I spoke in Guelph, Ontario, at Parkwood Gardens UB church. Brian Magnus, the pastor, introduced me.

I told the congregation it was great to be back among Canadians, who don’t ask me where I’m from. In the United States, people hear my accent and ask me if I’m from Canada. “It’s nice to fit back in,” I said.

Brian then commented, “You don’t sound like a Canadian anymore.”

I asked the congregation, “Do I sound like an American?”

Their heads went, “Yeah.”

I was crushed.
