I’m ok with this if it means universal health care. I’m also ok with giving up pennies, switching to dollar and two dollar coins, and adding a ‘u’ to color, honor, etc.
I draw the line at pronouncing ‘pasta’ and ‘taco’ with the short ‘a’ sound as in ‘bad’.
The Torontans I have worked with all seem to have the ‘bad’ a. Much less so when I was in Vancouver.
The Toronto folks sounded like weird Minnesotan (and became instantly recognizable when I started watching Letterkenny.
Vancouverites take the Canadian ‘Sorry’ (SORE-ee) as opposed to the American ‘SAR-ee’, but then mix it in with a bunch of NorCal/PNW stuff. “Hella” springs to mind.
I had the hardest time understanding the Letterkenny peeps at first. It wasn’t so much the accent as maybe the melody? Took a while to get into the groove. Also, that is one fast-paced comedy (not to mention a favorite). My TO friend always said pahsta, but that’s a pretty small sample for me to generalize.
