Shanghaiceltic, Newfoundland has its own dialect, and many, very different accents within that dialect. But they are all very different from most Canadian accents. There are some similarities with some of the other Atlantic provinces, but anyone from those provinces can easily tell one from the other. In the Newfoundland accents, you can clearly hear similarities to various accents originally from Ireland and England that are now no longer in use in those places.

Q, I know a guy from Edmonton who uses the "aboot" pronounciation. He's in his early forties, I think. That was the one my grandfather and grandmother used, and also my aunt (father's brother's wife) who was born and raised in Virginia. There's a very slight difference... a tiny bit more of a lilt in the Virginia pronounciation... a bit like a cross between "hoose" and "hice", but it's a very small difference.
