Memorial University announced its new President and Vice-Chancellor this week. I watched. The missus who introduces her is the chair of the Board of Regents. I thought her accent was a bit of a speech impediment, I've literally never encountered it before (and I know a solid 50% of the various accents on this island, and can place them). I mentioned it to a coworker and she laughed and said, "Oh that's where I'm from, Port de Grave. It's half New Yorker, half hick. I just talks proper at work."

And she showed me a Facebook video of another person, same surname, from that town, and damn... I can't find it now but it was even stronger. Like she says "Vice-Chancellah" and the "ah" is small and it's ending. The other guy was like "Vice-Chancellaaaaaaaahhhhhhh" and "ah" was the longest part of his speaking lol
(One note since it likely won't be obvious: everyone laughs when she jokes she's coming March 31, not April 1, because that's how we joined Canada - it was supposed to be April 1 but they made it just a second before midnight on March 31 so people didn't think it was a joke)
