I can do a decent Canadian accent.

 

I'm curious....

 

you mean a Southern Ontario flatness/non-accent that takes over the US for movies and TV shows and TV broadcasting?  Martin Short, John Roberts, Peter Jennings, Dave Thomas

 

or a region elsewhere in our Glorious Dominion?

 

the SO one is almost impossible, i've asked several able mimics to try it and they have a lot of trouble.

too pompous ...  London Street slang .. maybe  lol 

 

You say pompous, I say elegant and textbook.

 

I am not a fan of:

 

- Bogan Aussie

- Southern US trailer trash and NYC "New Yoooooooorker"

- Heavy NZ Maori

- Anything Geordie / far North England

 

In my experience, all of the above can produce levels of ear burning discomfort which are typically proportional to the level of intellect of the speaker.

Love the Scottish brogue 

is Geordie as much an insult there as in Scotland?
