He went to George Brown College and took the radio announcer's course which teaches CBC enunciation. He graduated, and lo and behold, his east coast accent and vocabulary had completely disappeared! He went into a store one day and said "I'd like a loaf of bread, a pound of butter and a box of salt please. And do you have any bacon?" The store keeper said, "I'll bet you are a Newfie". "Why do you say that?" "This is a hardware store".
