Subject: Why do Canadians get mad when us Americans talk about Canadian accents?

Every time on Yahoo Answers, some one talks about a Canadian accent, some Canadian will answer and get all mad. "WE DON'T HAVE AN ACCENT YOU STUPID AMERICAN"

Sheesh lol. What's the big deal? Some Canadians DO have an accent, and it's also called Canadian raising, because some Canadians do say about in a way that it sounds like "aboot". There is a Wikipedia article on it:

I don't see what the big deal is, I mean we have accents in the US too, especially in the south.
