In the US there is a Northern Cities Vowel shift going on right now, that this linguist claims is the biggest vowel shift since “The Great Vowel Shift.” See this video starting at 7:10 https://youtu.be/IsE_8j5RL3k

Huh, glad that is real, and not just my ears.

I’m an American, recently back from 2 years in Toronto, and the Toronto accent is just not the stereotypical Canadian accent that I imagined I’d hear. Far less Minnesota, a bit more New Jersey.

Go to Calgary for that stereotypical Minnesota - with a bit of Texas for fun.
