I can tell some American accents apart, but I can't hear the difference between 'General American' and Canadian, nor what the whole 'aboot' thing is about.

Americans say "ah-bowt" and (some) Canadians say "ah-boot".
Similarly, Americans and Canadians pronounce "plague" differently.

That's my theory, anyway.
I don't see any other explanation that makes sense for why they'd suddenly cancel the Boom deal and replace it with nothing, although the Boom deal seemed to be working out for them.
I've said this before, but my mother can't even tell the difference between Welsh and English accents...
I can understand that, they are quite similar.
Although that might be more or less understandable depending on the Welsh accent and English accent in question, since both vary.
I am bad at telling Welsh accents apart though, besides being aware that some sound more similar to the Received Pronunciation than others.
I can tell the difference between Welsh and English accents, and between a number of other regional accents, but I do have a bit of trouble distinguishing Northern Irish accents from Hebrides and Highland Scots accents. They are quite similar, both very pretty though.

I live in the goddamn Midwest and even I have to hear someone speak for more than a couple minutes before I can pick up a Canadian accent sometimes

My flatmate claimed Americans know nothing whatsoever about Wales, and make sheep-shagging jokes about the Scots.
He was misinformed, evidently.
We know that there is a Prince of Wales.
That is it.
I remember that, in the Thursday Next 'verse, Wales is an independent, socialist republic. And that Jasper Fforde wrote this because he was annoyed that hardly anyone in England took the Welsh seriously.

you know it never really occurred to me before now that Scrooge McDuck is a (possibly hurtful?) ethnic stereotype
Well he is fairly positively portrayed for a character named Scrooge.
And apparently in the comics his nemesis Glomgold is basically a Broederbunder, except a duck.
What's a Broederbunder?
The Broederbund was an Afrikaner institution similar to the Freemasons with strong white supremacist leanings, members of whom were the original architects of apartheid. They now function as a relatively innocuous charity organisation, but for a time they were one of the most powerful and secretive organisations in Africa.

probably something like "Heir Presumptive" would work fine though.

Scots say 'aboot'. Canadians don't, to my ears.

Even if I wasn't vegetarian, I think I'd pass. It doesn't look...right
Also Donner is the bread in which is served, the meat is called kebab.

So, I'm guessing the Donner is a pan-Europe kind of thing? Because that's what they call it in Allemande, and I know you don't live there
