    Some Americans think there are no black people in Canada. When I was on the HMCS Margaree (destroyer) our 'black guy' decided to go ashore in uniform when we were tied up in Wilmington NC. He said he met people who were surprised there are black people from Canada.

    I watch the cooking show Man,Fire,Food and the host is Roger Mooking. I knew he was Canadian by the way he pronounced 'process'. (He's black.)

  • That they say "aboot". lol. I've listened to Canadian speech, and it's really closer to "aboat" (but not quite).
