As an Irishman, I can see where she was coming from. I was channel hopping one day and stumbled across a documentary, can't remember what it was about, but the people in it sounded Irish[1], but... off, somehow. There were little accent and vocabulary differences. Then one of them said something utterly Canadian, and that's when I realised that it was actually Newfoundland.

[1] To be precise, like as if they're from the south east, around Wexford and Waterford.

Yeah Newfoundland people have a very thick dialect some so much it can be very hard to understand to anyone not from the island.

I'm not from Ireland but both my paternal grandparents' ancestors are from Monaghan and Ulster.

It's interesting to hear an opinion on which area in Ireland that Newfoundland people sound like.
