It's a boot!

I hope our Canadian friends do not take offense to this. But I just laughed till tears fell from my eyes.

 

[Blye]

LOL!!

I really want to like that cartoon, but it just makes me sad.

Brian, you need to watch some reruns of "Due South" to see "real" mounties at work!

LOL.
The goofy thing is... I have never heard a Canadian say "aboot", but I'm from western Canada (Technically dead centre, but Torontonians think they are in the centre of Canada)
I'm suspecting maybe they pronounce it that way in Nova Scotia ?
Any ideas ?

I'm from western Canada

We, from the true West, think anything east of the continental divide is "back east".

Michael, we can see it from here, and it's raining.

Must be across the river in Ottawa. We know they talk funny.

I was told it is the Eastern Maritime Canadians that pronounce it that way.

I do recall many years ago I went to Canada to conduct training on a satellite simulator. Some of the attendees were from Nova Scotia. They pronounced it that way. The first time I heard it I was like a deer looking into headlights. The other Canadians then explained. It was also funny when I started talking about the IP router in the simulator. I was again corrected as it is a rooter, not a router.

Then we went to lunch.

And had real beer instead of that “training beer” you guys are forced to consume.
(Oh good grief, here we go again)

Hee hee

Now that you mentioned it, it was Alexander Keith's beer.

but most of the time we aren't laughing.

 

[Meriachee]

Some days it’s really really hard.

 

[Jalepeno]

You need to a correction. "Torona" think they are the only ones that count and that they are the centre of the universe.
I think "aboot" is Newfee language.

That was pretty damn funny!

That is hilarious! I sent this to a friend of mine from Minneapolis with the caption, "Could be from Minnesota eh!"

She replied "Oh Ya Sure! You Betcha".

Maybe @Jackdaw can confirm for us.

Would that be LaBoot?
