I have never in my life heard a Canadian who said "aboot" - it's used by a tiny minority of Newfoundlanders, who comprise less than 0.2% of the population. It's like judging all American English on the basis of the heavy Southern red-neck drawl of the rural poor in West Virginia or North Carolina - which I admit is fun to do!
