what does Yankee mean anyway? Im from Canada and I dont follow politics very closely. But this all sounds very funny to me. no insult intended. oh and we dont say warsh or wuter but my grandma said "margeen" instead of margarine. and my mom says Thom instead of Tom. and we all call her "Elner" but her name is Eleonore.

to answer your question, i think my T is a divorced mother of two, she is a doctor of pyschology, and she seems smart. She speaks with the same accent the same way i do i guess. No big cultural difference here.
