There are sooo many different accents in Canada and the US, and I'm sure within other countries as well.

Yes, because if it's from the same country it's called a dialect. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dialect :)

An accent and a dialect are not the same thing.

You're saying a dialect is just an accent within a country. No. They're not that close.

a variety of a language that is distinguished from other varieties of the same language by features of phonology, grammar, and vocabulary, and by its use by a group of speakers who are set off from others geographically or socially.

That link didn't prove your point, and neither does the direct quotation of said link. ac·cent/ˈaksent/ Noun: A distinctive mode of pronunciation of a language, esp. one associated with a particular nation, locality, or social class. di·a·lect/ˈdīəˌlekt/ Noun: A particular form of a language that is peculiar to a specific region or social group.

exactly, according to your definition of dialect it is someone from a same area, region, country, etc that has a different form of pronouncing words of the same language. Therefore, it's not really an "accent."
