re: Speaking of accents, how does all of Canada have a singularly recognizable one?

I lived in Calgary, AB for 2 years. They all have different accents from Province to Province. They just say the same word..."eh?" after every sentence. And I never heard anyone say "aboot."
They are also raging alcoholics and pot smokers.

That's literally all I hear when a Canadian is speaking. The pronunciation of that word and others like it is undoubtedly a huge part of the Canadian accent.

I don't know how they're alcoholics. Their booze is crazy expensive.

I run into people from BC and the Yukon all the time, they all say "aboot" or aboat."

More aboat than aboot. Canadians oat themselves when they say a word that ends in o-u-t.
