Her "Toronto" accent is way off. The Toronto accent has become very
close to an American western-Midwest accent, like what you might hear
in Minneapolis. What she does is fairly close to a traditional
Canadian prairies accent or that of a young urban Newfoundlander. It
might also be close to a Maritimes accent, but I'm just speculating
there. Her "sorry" at the end is completely American Broadcast;
throughout Canada (even in Toronto) the "o" in "sorry" is quite round,
the same sound as in "boring".
