Same. The wife and I love this meme so much that we have it hanging in the dining area:
What about Orleans in Ontario? OR-LINZ? OR-LEANS? OR-LAY-ON? Something else?
But then Orleans in Quebec is OR-LAY-AN
OR-LEANS is the only version I've ever heard in the wild.
Eh Mun tun.
Edmontonians=YEGgers
YEGers can't be choosers.
Slow clap
The cat's right. Who pronounces full city names? TOR-ON-TO? No no no, T'rono.
Yup, if you're pronouncing Calgary as a 3 syllable word, you're doing it wrong.
But then again, there are some cities where people add letters that aren't there, like Vangcouver
Cowgry
CH’RAWWWWWWWNAHHHHH!
'churona
Sorry edit: T'Churonah
Entirely acceptable.
T'raw'nah
Yup, entirely valid.
I like that spelling. I may use it henceforth.
Except, of course Sakskatooon
Nope, that's just "the 'Toon".
Stoon
Yanks: MAWN-tray-all
Anglais: MUN-tree-ul

It was really something during the convoy in Ottawa
I was listening to their pronunciations of streets like Elgin and Colonel By and they were atrocious.
Okay so technically, Montréal is about the mountain that is in the middle of the city.
Mont-Réal (Réal meaning Royal in Catalan, actually name of the mountain being Mont-Royal) Mont = Mount Réal/Royal = Royal (found this Wikipedia article about the word which is also a name for people in Québec https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9al_(given_name) )
Montréal is the mountain.
Montréal is also the name of the island
Montréal is also the name of a city on the island
Montréal is also the name of the CMA that surrounds the island
Montréal is also the name of a park on the mountain of Montréal that's in the middle of the city of Montréal that's on the island of Montréal inside the CMA of Montréal.
West Montréal can go fuck itself.
Only narcs say Ed-mon-ton or Tor-on-to. Easy way to spot 'em.
O-duh-wuh, Tronna, Cal-Gree,
Wait, you guys pronounce the "d"? I thought it was em-tuhn.
The key is to soften/glottalize that t.
'Ed.min.ʔin
Ohh that's a fun question mark lookin' thing. We need that in our regular alphabet.
Tronna
Tarannah
I had to try saying Toronto out loud, and I get Tronno with my Aussie accent. Nice to know you’se are so similar.
Now I hear Rhys Darby saying it Idmintin.
Port Aux Basques = Porta Bass
If its anything like the brits pronounce things...
Eh'mih'en
