    I’m American but I have Canadian coworkers (we’re all remote). I hear this accent all the time from the Vancouver crowd.

      “A-boot” is an Eastern Canada thing; west-coast is “ah-bah-Wt” and is common from BC right down into Oregon.

        West coast here. I say it ironically without the rest of the accent.

          Well yeah; any time I hear an American drawl, I’ll pull out the Canadian dipthong.

      As a vancouverite I essentially never hear this accent in the city. The closest thing resembling it is in interior BC.

        Well then I’m confused because the only office we work with is in Vancouver. I’m just writing about what I constantly hear.
