I think Linus does it as a meme, more than as part of his natural speech.

And Bobsdecline is from the opposite coast.

The aboot thing is mostly a southern Ontario thing, but since that is where a lot of traditional media comes from, it is the most commonly exported Canadian regional accent.

    Linus might be meaming it, but I have heard others say it. The aboat version of it is even common across the northern border in central US.

    I also just ran across a video of two Canadian English teachers talking about it, but they too were almost in the aboat class.
