Practice, practice, practice. Talk with friends, listen carefully, play with the words. Record yourself and listen. This is very powerful.

If that's true (and I don't believe it to be so) then the way to speak without an accent would be to speak like Canadians.

Speaking without an accent is subjective as everyone has their own regional or cultural influences on their speech. Generally, you can aim for clear articulation, proper pronunciation, and a neutral tone. Listening to and mimicking native speakers of a language can help improve your accent. Practice, language classes, or accent reduction courses can also be beneficial.
