My sister-in-law lived in Whitehorse for a year when she was in grade 12, I think.
I've been as far north as Prince Rupert on vacation, but that's about it.
Oh, look, I haven't posted in this thread before. Huh. Well, I am UnAmerican so I guess that's okay.
Ooo! I think my uncle died in Bella Coola!
But, you know, most of the relations are from the Interior or the Island.
I am not an UnAmerican, but I played one in a play. A german one, living in Halifax. Does that count? I probably had a horrible accent, but maybe not, because they found a German woman who lived in Canada. She said all the lines for me, and I just said them like that. (This is NOT the right way to learn an accent, boys and girls!)
Hi, my name is Deena and I'm a faux unamerican.
Will go back to lurking this thread now.
To hear a stunningly bad Nova Scotian accent, watch Deeply. Kirsten Dunst's accent coach must have studied at the same place as Kendra's. The accent was considerably less like a Maritime accent than Dunst's real accent. It sounded mostly like a bad southern accent (southern U.S., that is). To top it off, her character's name was "Silly".
Her accent was like her name.
What? Is nobody else from Northern Canada?
Penny, I think there was someone who's de-lurked recently from Whitehorse. Or maybe it was Yellowknife.
I'm from Whitehorse. It was probably me.
Since there are only about 30,000 people in the entire Yukon at any given time, I'm not really all that surprised at not finding more here. Actually, I'm surprised by the number people who have been north of 60.
I'm now in Denver, but I don't know of any Colorado buffistas. There was talk of a map, but it would be a nightmare to put together.

Yep, Sohpie's on PeoplesForum too, Penny. She's a lawyer up there.
