usually with how they pronounce words with the letter 'o' in them
Did this happen before or after you tried to invade them? Pretty sure Canada was founded later. You should probably blame the Brits for it.
You sure we should forgive?Canada burned down the White House 200 years ago.
We’ve forgiven the Canucks.
But we haven’t forgotten.
I know that of course but back then they were still just colonies. Hopefully Canada will follow when the Aussies will finally leave.Head of State of Canada is his Majesty Charles III.
Limeys and Canucks are the same. Dominion of Canada be damned.
Living in West Michigan, it's more difficult. Lots of yooperish accents around here. Not everyone, though, it's weird. Like my next door neighbor who's lived here his whole life sounds like anyone from Detroit/Toledo (like me). But my neighbor behind my house who has also lived here her whole life sounds like a yooper. (Oh, yah, you betcha. We took de bo-uht out yestuhday). It's weird. But this area is like 50/50 with that accent.Living in SE Michigan I can tell in seconds if someone is Canadian.
Someone's going to mention cool whip so it might as well be me.One thing I noticed Norm MacDonald do is in an effort to leave no letter silent, is transpose the W and H in a WH word like "White". Making it kind of "Huh-wite". I don't know if this is common to all Canadians, or just a tic specific to him. "Whale" becomes "Huh-wale", etc.
Perhaps not by accent but by how the milk is kept.
