Actually, Minnesota sounds more stereotypically "Canadian" than most Canadians. That's somewhat true, but the MinnesOta O is like a prolonged hard O. The canadian O is an ooo sound (like aboot). We're also not so good at the z sound of pleurals, like "I'm from White Bear Lake, Go Bearsss". Also, we don't say "eh" that much. We say things like "Uff-da", "yaa", "so I sess to him I sess", and "ya know".

"So I sess to him I sess 'Uff-da Thor, dat's one hell of a big muskie, ya know?' Then, he sess back to me he sess, 'Oh shurr yaa, I caught it up near da Falls a while back, right after that big storm where Ole lost a tOe, ya know.'"
