I was once playing a game with a bunch of American goons and I said the word "out" and they kept barking "oot! oot!" at me and I remember thinking "Wait, I thought "aboot" was an Ontario/Manitoba thing ..."

For those wondering, the linguistic phenomenon that does this in Canadian accents is known as Canadian raising

I play games online for years and years and nobody ever picks out that I'm from Canada. Most people guess Montana, and a few times I got Texas. I think the stereotypical Canadian accent doesn't exist in Alberta.
