I like what Mark Steyn says, but that Cockney-like accent of his sounds like Eliza Doolittle’s father! Where in Canada do they talk like that, eh?

When I was working in Toronto I constantly channeled Steyn when calling myself a “migrant worker.”

Steyn was educated in Birmingham, U.K., and left there at age 18. I guess the accent stuck. I like it, but I’ve always loved British accents.

He spent plenty of time in England and Australia, as well.
