Early morning revelations

As I was harvesting for market early yesterday morning, I was listening to the BBC World Service on my handy-dandy hand crank radio. They had an interview with a French farmer, because apparently there has been a tremendous drought in France this year. As the farmer spoke in half-way decent broken English, it occurred to me that he sounded like one of the McKenzie brothers. I guess it makes sense, but until that moment, I hadn't really appreciated how much a Canadian accent sounds like a French person trying to speak English.
