Thought I'd add to this topic with this, interesting site with audio files of Canadian pronounciations of words:

www.yorku.ca/twainweb/troberts/raising.html

The funny part is, I don't notice anything weird going on when he says "about the house'! I pronounce Toronto, and indeed most of the other phrases, the same way as well.

But where is the final "t" in Toronto? And the guy at one point says "To American ears, the Canadian pronunciation of about often sounds like aboot, but this is only an illusion." Well, an illusion is visual, not auditory, so methinks he needs to get OOT AND ABOOT a bit more. Maybe out of tore-on-TOE more often.

Dunno where the silent 't' comes from, probably fast-talking, Canadian hockey announcers, hehe. That's the way I say it though, even though I'm from Van-COO-ver. Maybe I should eat more or-en-ges and choc-lets in the forest, eh? LOL.
