I am surprised that the Canadian English block is so large. Having lived in both places, there is a definite difference in accent between Western Canada and Southern Ontario.
EDIT: The stereotypical "out" and "about" pronunciation is much more prominent in Southern Ontario.

- cmrdporcupine 9y agoActually the 'aboot' thing that people stereotype about Canadians is more prominent in the upper midwest US than it is in most parts of Canada. I do hear a difference between western Canada and Ontario (I'm from the former and live in the latter.) But there's also a known dialect difference between central and southern Alberta (former settled by English/Ukrainian/Germans the other by American immigrants). Rural Ontario, well, that's another story.
