Well, evidently a lot of Canadians are kinda touchy on this topic, but as an American hockey fan that refuses to pay for cable (even when I have a decent paying job) I listen to almost every teams radio broadcast on Tune-In Radio on my phone, and to my American ears the Canadian pronunciation of "out" and "about" just stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. It's unmistakable, and most Canadians do it.
I went through a lot of YouTube videos on this topic, looking for one that wasn't stupid. I never found one, but I'm posting this one because he says "out" and "about" a lot without making a point of it, and it's highly noticeable.
And who's to say I'm not the one with the accent when I say "OWt" and "abOWt" instead of "oot" and "aboot" (exaggerated) but I'm honestly telling you guys that the Canadian pronunciation of these words hit my American ears like a ton of bricks.
