I always find it funny when Americans discuss Canadian accents. Personally, in my entire life, I have never heard anyone say "aboot" other than an American pretending to speak like a Canadian. Not saying no one says it, but it's clearly not that common. My biggest source of confusion is why Americans even think there is a Canadian accent. Fact is, there are several different accents throughout the country depending on the part of the country you live....very same thing can be said of the US, except the US is more drastic in my mind regarding different accents.

Far left Guess which one is me:

Guns? Hunting accident? Buddy, my kids were involved in two school shootins this week already, and it Monday. My wife/sister got shot at the movie theater yesterday and a country music concert the day before that. Heck, I made a pizza for lunch today - but I can't afford a pizza cutter because I ain't got no health insurance and I keep gettin shot - so I shot my pizza into slices. God bless the declaration of the Constitution. RIP Chris Kyle

I'm Canadian EH! I find this very OHffensive. I want to know what all you hosers think is so foony aboot the way we talk eh? Bet you woodnt like it soo much if I unleashed a heard of moose on yous eh? Ill drive a taboggen right across your faces and beat you with a pillowcase full of loonies, then take your girl over to timmies and get some some doughnuts eh, and a couple dooble doobles.

God and dont get me started about people in New York and them wanting their ******* "CWOAHFEE" IT'S COFFEE YOU IDIOTS COFFEE.

Some american jews living in the east coast/midwest say Tuh - may - Tuh and Puh -tay - tuh

Three cups across the next two years? @Jonas Mahonas? Gotta love “rumors” with absolutely no source. Peak off season stuff right there yeah this deal makes zero sense for sure.

In the U.S. I would consider "prah-sess" to be an east coast influence. Maybe cause you're on the eastern seaboard it's shared? IDK. The place I REALLY notice "pro-sess" is whenever I'm in Toronto

I don't get this one either. I'm sure there are Canadians that say "pro-sess", just like I'm sure there are American's that do as well. I say "prah-sess", and I'm pretty sure most Canadians pronounce it that way. That's like "toe-may-toe" vs "toe-ma-toe". I'm not sure that's really a Canadian vs American thing, as much as it's a smart person vs dumb person thing...

jajajajajajaja?

but back in school in Vancouver, Canadians used to make fun of how everyone else would pronounce Surrey, most of us would say "sorry" and they'd be like, "oh, don't be sorry aboat it, eh"

To be fair, there's more than a number of Canadians that I could not pick out of a crowd of Americans based on speech. Many are completely indistinguishable. On the flipside, to me, people from Minnesota and the Dakotas sound like they're more Canadian than American.

I should’ve bolded the first part of that last sentence too. I get the point. Although I can’t say which part of Canada it’s from, I’ve definitely heard “aboot” type words from time to time. Although, not as exaggerated at many Americans think it is. Part of the company I work for is based in Windsor, and I’ve heard it from some coworkers, so maybe close by there? I’m not sure.. just thinking out loud here, but it would make a little more sense if the extended “ouh” kind of sound were near the US boarder, based on the exaggeration of it in the states.

There's definitely a Canadian accent. Like Amato says below, I honestly didn't recognize I had a Midwest accent (or that that was even a thing) until I moved out of the Midwest and people started telling me I had one. I'm not saying everyone in Canadian has the same accent. QC literally speaks a different language, and dudes I talk to from Ontario and from Calgary definitely sound different to me. Just like someone from New Orleans sounds different than someone from Texas. To be fair, "aboot" was probably a poor/rare selection lol See, I don't think there's one unifying Canadian accent that you've all agreed to or anything. Just a general manner of speech, the same way you could say Irish/Scottish/Kings-English sounds similar, even though they're totally different. When I hear someone say "pro-sess" and not "prah-sess" my brain says this person is probs Canadian. When I hear someone say "ya'll" my brains tell me the dude is probably American

"Highest paid team in the NHL..." Who cares? Does the Ilitch fam owe you money that they haven't paid back or something? "...and still a bottom 10 team." Isn't this what you want? You keep talking about our first round Lottery Pick... don't you want it to be a high pick in a deep draft? "Too much money for the UFA's we signed and they sucked up all the cap" Nothing a trade couldn't help relieve. Doesn't even have to be a big trade.

Or again.

Whenever I'm in Canada and I hear someone say aboot instead of about
