I come from Eastern Canada (the island province of Newfoundland, to be exact), where we speak very quickly with a unique dialect that is highly abbreviated. (for example, "What are you doing?" becomes "whattayat?") I find it painfully slow to listen to non-Newfoundlanders speak. Happiest day of my professional life was finding out how to speed up YouTube videos. Default setting for any conference/instructional video is now 1.5-2x speed to just keep things moving.

And the rest of us in Canada would love to figure out how to slow you down so that we can understand what the hell you're saying! :D
