I never understood this stereotype (aboot vs about). I’m Canadian, lived here all my life, my family is all Canadian and all have lived here all their lives. I’ve got family all across the country, from the western coast of BC to the eastern coast of Newfoundland, from the northern stretches of Nunavut to the most southern tip of Ontario, and very rarely have I ever heard it pronounced that way. It’s actually really funny as a Canadian to look up “how to speak like a Canadian” and watch how awful most of the “tips” are. I’d recommend it.

The headline is just false. Please use words accurately. If you’re talking about the government, don’t name the citizens instead. Amateur hour.

Can’t trust Americans or can’t trust the United States because those are two inherently different groups.

Yeah, I was just wondering what the hell is wrong with 4/10 Canadians?

Well, one makes the other.

It’s exaggerated. I’m from Newfoundland and have little to no regional accent, but still have very slight grammatical and phonetic tells that are apparently obvious to people from elsewhere.

I use more long “O” sounds than people in the US which is apparently obvious almost immediately, and I have some odd grammar whitch apparently singles me out as from NL very quickly to anyone in Canada.

Also, apparently the way I say “thirteen” has a stronger hint of Newfoundland in it than the rest of my speech, at least according to one of my co-workers from Ontario.

It’s quite possible that having such a wide ranging family same social circle has simple acclimated you to the various regional differences in dialect.

As an US American watching two decades of secular human sacrifice through the long tail of the gunpowder revolution has left me undernourished and starving for humanity.

Sorta… But only about 65% of us voted in the last election and of that only 50% voted for these douchebags. And of those, most of them voted that way because of a single R. So I’d guess around 75% of the people don’t agree with what is going on.

So as a concrete example, I’m an American and I’d go out of my way to help most anyone but I am not the United States.

Sure not everyone is on board, especially how it’s going lately, but you do spell it out kind of. Only 65% voted, that’s 35% who just decided to like give up or something. A third of you. Then a third voted MAGA, a thorn other.

That’s the danger of the stupid third.

Sorry but the 35% who didn’t vote, knowing the threat of Trump becoming president again was looming, are no different than those who voted Republican.

The whole world remember his first presidential term. And we all saw the Project 2025 playbook. The US is in a mess of its own creation.

As a Brit, I too have lost trust in Americans unless proved otherwise.

both… after electing a convicted felon and rapist to the presidency for a SECOND time, Americans cannot escape responsability in my books

I can’t blame you. But to quote a movie … “A person is smart. But people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals…”
