Ahh, I am not familiar with the Canadian vowel shift.

I don't think it's a southern thing and it's not a long a in Nascar. It's an 'a' as in "apple", instead of an 'a' as in "adore" (almost like an "uhh" but not quite)

It's not really a shift. We just don't stretch vowels. That's where that whole thing about "aboot". Which we don't say, PS.

Aren't pronunciations fun? We should be having this discussion by phone (I mean phooooooooooone)
