I also once met an Australian girl who said she could usually tell where in North America someone was from. Apparently I "sound" very middle America. Whatever

I find that west coast canadians and west coast american accents are fairly similar. As for that Vancouverite saying eh! a lot that is not very typical for a west coast canadian. Eh! is very popular back east. Oh and to clarify a couple of things we don't pronounce it A-BOOT. Out west we tend to talk more quickly, while easterns and east coasters tend to talk with a slower accent.
