Canadians have a "very thick" accent and only anger easily at hockey if you ask comedian Mike Myers, but Canucks have no such thing as a politeness problem.
"We're very politically correct at times and I always think, well, isn't politically correct just being considerate and nice for the most part?" he told CBC's Wendy Mesley in an interview to air on Sunday's The National.
The Canadian actor and comedian shares a lot of opinions about his home country found in his new book called Canada. Naturally, Canadian versus American pronunciations came up in conversation.
"It's AH-oot, AH-oot" Myers jokes in his typical comic style, pointing to how Americans say "out."

Myers says he often wonders how to describe Canada to his three children, all of whom are American.
"There's nobody more Canadian than a Canadian who no longer lives in Canada," said the former SNL star known for films such as Shrek, Austin Powers and Wayne's World.
"I think civility will be our greatest legacy."
Watch Wendy Mesley's full interview with Mike Myers tonight on The National at 9 p.m. ET
