I'm surprised this hasn't been said yet: Western and Central Canadians do NOT pronounce it 'aboot'. Those in the very Eastern part of Canada, namely on the coast (Nova Scotia, PEI, etc.) do have an accent and it is considerably different from the rest - and majority of - the country. Most Canadians have a very neutral accent, almost indistinguishable from Americans (pardon the generalization...)
