"I really don't have an answer that's going to satisfy you." @sanitatcm — sent from this prompt (x) still accepting!

he smiles lightly, before clasping his hands together and resting them on the wooden table in front of him. there's a serene look in his eyes, one that betrays how comfortable he is in this situation. it's when he finds himself at his most relaxed, talking to his parishioners, especially when that's accompanied by the relaxing sound of the ocean waves just outside of the window. he misses cambridge, of course he does, but sometimes it's nice to just... get away from it all, even if it's just for a little while. just to clear his head.

‘ i'm not looking for an answer that's going to satisfy me, i was just asking you a question i'd be keen to know the answer to. ’ he sips at his drink, taking advantage of the pause to mull over what he wants to say next. ‘ you don't have to answer it, not if you don't want to. but i do think it's interesting to point out that of the many doctors i've met, you're the only one so far who isn't an overtly religious man. ’

Sorry, but as a non Canadian whose from the Pacific Northwest and thus has only interacted with Vancouverites, what the fuck is a Toronto accent and what’s the difference between it and a Newmarket one?

Okay answer as serious as I can make it sound: BC/Vancouver English is genuinely phonetically different from Ontario/Toronto English in a few ways -- Ontario across the board has stronger effect of more "stereotypical" Canadian accent features such as:

Canadian raising (before unvoiced consonants, au- and ai- diphthongs (think "house" or "writer") are a "higher" vowel than before voiced ones (ex. "writer" and "rider" have two different vowels to me))*

Oo- fronting (pushing "forward" of the vowel)

/ae/ raising (making "bag" closer to rhyming with "maid") before g (think saying baygel?)

There's a few other ones but I'm on mobile and it's 1am and they're a lot more like... linguistic jargony... if you are interested pls review the "Canadian Shift" on your own time i barely understand it myself 😭😭😭

*Other Non-Canadian regions in the area (American Great Lakes) or ancestral regions (parts of the British Isles) will sometimes do one of these shifts (either ai- or au-) but only Canada does both

Functionally Newmarket and Toronto probably have similar enough accents that they're indistinguishable unless you are going IN with the audio software but I am a Vibes Man and to me they're different. I can't explain it but they are. I can tell when someone has gone between Bloor and Castle Frank on the subway organically or not it's the vibe

Sidney was enjoying his new life as a father. It was definitely different than what he was used to. He wasn’t used to waking up at all hours of the night or having to deal with a crying baby all day, but he didn’t have any complaints so far. As loud as his daughter was, he didn’t care. She was his kid and he was already obsessed with her. He reached down into her crib and scooped up the crying baby, noticing that she immediately quieted down a little once she was in his arms. “I think I’ve spoiled her,” Sid chuckled out, holding her up against his shoulder. He liked giving Magda a break whenever he was around. Even though, he was technically around all the time. They just hadn’t officially talked about living together. “I think she might be hungry. And as much as she loves me, that’s only a job for mom.”
