Yeah, her Scottish accent was a bit off (and fails to address the fact that Scotland has multiple accents based on region, but that's another rant). Her Canadian accent sounded like a caricature.

I suspect that a lot of native speakers will hear a difference between her assumed accent and the real thing.
