Explain?

I mean, it looks pretty chock full of facts when you look what the title says and the article…
Title:
6 in 10 Canadians say they can never trust Americans the same way again

The most revealing part of the article:

Six in 10 Canadians (60 per cent) say they can never trust the Americans the same way ever again, the poll found.

Seems the same as the title (to me, at least)

Added bonus pic to really ram home how the title and article are saying the same thing:

Over half of canadians don’t trust america anymore, so how is the title false?

After this nightmare is over, the Untied States need a complete overhaul

A country != the population, especially under dictatorship

Oh I know, I don’t blame you in the least. I’m losing trust in my fellow Americans. The whole process was just a major fustercluck. I woke up the morning after with a serious case of dread of what was about to happen. The apathy in this country is a major issue no doubt. I’m hopeful that as shit gets worse and worse, the apathy goes away. If it doesn’t, then Handmaid’s Tale becomes more of a playbook and less a work of fiction.

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.

Same, never heard ‘aboot’ in my life. However, I do tend to say ‘-eh’ all the time, especially at the end of sentences as emphasis.

It’s exaggerated.

I watch a lot of Canadian Youtube, it’s totally a mix.

80% of the time it’s identical to US about

19% of the time it’s aboawt.

1% of the time it’s totally a-boot.

With a US English ear, it’s jarring. (not in a bad way) but we totally notice it.

Not eveyone does it. Linus from Linus tech tips drops one every few shows, but then Electro Boom never does. Bobsdecline does it a little less often.

It’s kind of like the US and Brittish people saying Idear instead of idea. it happens once in a while

its more like “a-boat”. I’ve never even been to Canada, but I can often spot a Canadian on TV within moments based on how they speak.

Afaik, the aboot thing is a regional dialect thing in parts of Ontario.

And, as we know, Toronto represents all Canadians… (or at least thinks they do)

A country != the population, especially under dictatorship

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

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.

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.

Right now, they are a danger for more than just Canadians.

I’m not trying to be an apologist. I’m just saying most of us aren’t that stupid, xenophobic, and racist. But some of us definitely are.

I’ve had beef with them ever since they dressed up in redface and threw a bunch of perfectly good tea into the Boston harbour. Quite rude, and they never apologized for it.

It’s because everyone’s accents have gotten less distinct/strong due to TV. I know people from the US south with barely an accent because of this.

Also, some of the accent stereotype comes from your own movie productions, especially older ones when the accents were more like that:

Granted they are playing this up for their characters

I think Linus does it as a meme, more than as part of his natural speech.

And Bobsdecline is from the opposite coast.

The aboot thing is mostly a southern Ontario thing, but since that is where a lot of traditional media comes from, it is the most commonly exported Canadian regional accent.
