The cat’s right. Who pronounces full city names? TOR-ON-TO? No no no, T’rono.
Yup, if you’re pronouncing Calgary as a 3 syllable word, you’re doing it wrong.
But then again, there are some cities where people add letters that aren’t there, like Vangcouver
Cowgry
'churona
Sorry edit: T’Churonah
T’raw’nah
Yup, entirely valid.
I like that spelling. I may use it henceforth.
Entirely acceptable.
CH’RAWWWWWWWNAHHHHH!

Mont-Réal (Réal meaning Royal in Catalan, actually name of the mountain being Mont-Royal) Mont = Mount Réal/Royal = Royal (found this Wikipedia article about the word which is also a name for people in Québec https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Réal_(given_name) )
Montréal is the mountain.
Montréal is also the name of the island
Montréal is also the name of a city on the island
Montréal is also the name of the CMA that surrounds the island
Montréal is also the name of a park on the mountain of Montréal that’s in the middle of the city of Montréal that’s on the island of Montréal inside the CMA of Montréal.
West Montréal can go fuck itself.

Only narcs say Ed-mon-ton or Tor-on-to. Easy way to spot 'em.
Edmontonians=YEGgers
YEGers can’t be choosers.
Slow clap <nodding with approval>
The key is to soften/glottalize that t.

Ohh that’s a fun question mark lookin’ thing. We need that in our regular alphabet.

O-duh-wuh, Tronna, Cal-Gree,

I had to try saying Toronto out loud, and I get Tronno with my Aussie accent. Nice to know you’se are so similar.
Now I hear Rhys Darby saying it Idmintin.
