There's a clip of David Seymour making the rounds on social media that has viewers scratching their heads.
In the interview, recorded in 2010, the ACT leader was recorded speaking with a clear Canadian accent.
Seymour says he adopted the accent during his time overseas to blend in with the locals.
"I know people that have lived outside their home country for 30 years, the accent still flickers- and there's other people who are kind of like chameleons in some terms, it's the way people are."
