	ASA 149th Meeting Lay Language Papers - Visualizing the Canadian English Vowels
		Canadians are well known to have different vowel sounds in 'lout' and 'loud', where in other dialects these sounds are usually the same.
		Canadian Raising is thought to affect vowels that move from low-to-high in the vowel space.
		Thus I describe 'Canadian Raising' not as something specific to /ai/ and /au/, but general to this class of 'moving vowels', and not as 'raising' in the space but 'advancement along the path of the movement'.

	Canadian Abroad - Raising Canadian children in a foreign country - by Geradine Mac Donald-Moran
		Raising Canadian children abroad-- protecting, preserving and promoting the heritage-- is a challenge.
		The most logical course of action to follow (to promote our heritage), when raising children in a bi-cultural environment, is to adopt the most positive aspects of one's host culture (or that of the co-parent) while rejecting the negative aspects of both backgrounds.
		I have two Canadian flags, having taken them out of their cellophane wrappers once or twice, presuming to hang them high and never allowing them to touch the floor as a measure of respect learned in childhood.

	Canadian raising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Canadian raising is a phonetic phenomenon that occurs in varieties of the English language, especially Canadian English, in which diphthongs are "raised" before voiceless consonants (e.g., [p], [t], [k], [s], [f]).
		This raising of /aɪ/ can be found in the Pacific Northwest, New England, and Philadelphia, and probably in many other parts of the country as well, as it appears to be spreading.
		The phenomenon of Canadian raising may be related historically to a similar phenomenon that exists in Scots and Scottish English.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Chambers (1973: 114) defines Canadian raising as a phenomenon that occurs in Canada which heightens the onset of the diphthongs /ai/ and /au/ relative to the low-central onset in neighboring dialects, raising them to [[[radical]]i] and [[[radical]]u].
		The raising of /ai/ was distributed fairly evenly throughout the sample with regard to age, but /au/-raising seemed to be led by young women.
		The fronting that often accompanies raising in this U.S. study also adds a new twist to similar studies in Canada, in that it suggests that the Canadians may not be conforming to the U.S. norm, but instead that the two varieties may be converging.

	Canadian English
		Canadian English, for all its speakers, is an under-described variety of English.
		In fact, Lilles (2000) goes so far as to claim that there is no such thing as a distinct Canadian English, and argues that the notion of Canadian English is a myth, fabricated to reinforce a fragile Canadian identity.
		As evidence, he cites the lack of phonological and orthographic standardization for Canadian English, the paucity of distinct Canadian vocabulary, and the appearance of regionalisms associated with various parts of the United States.

	Gabriele Azzaro - Worldwide Accents of English
		In Canadian Raising, the initial vowel element is much higher than the American variant, the glide is over a shorter distance, and the final element is higher as well.
		Although the phenomenon is mainly Canadian, the speech of some Americans in several areas of the US (e.g., Chicago, Minneapolis, and Rochester) is also characterized by those sounds.
		Phonologically, one might say that Canadians are apparently under American pressure and the two diphthongs are subsequently also affected; it is probably better to say that US and CdnE are converging toward one another.

	Canadian English
		Canadian Raising was first brought to the attention of linguists by Joos (1942).
		A notable aspect of Canadian pre-rhotic vowels is their resistance to the emergent pattern in American English of substituting [a] for [o] before inter-vocalic [r].
		A final, curious property of Canadian English is in its foreign /a/ nativization.

		Increases in fundraising were seen in nearly all subsectors of the Canadian charitable sector, especially among religious, public society/benefit, and education organizations, and in all organizations regardless of the level of annual operating budget.
		The first 'AFP State of Fundraising' survey was developed in response to the events of September 11, 2001. Funds raised by charities were immediately impacted by the tragedy. However, by the close of 2001 surprisingly nearly 60 percent of U.S. fundraisers surveyed saw increases over the previous year compared to 48 percent at year-end 2002.
		Canadian fundraisers listed a myriad of reasons impacting their fundraising efforts including increased competition for charitable dollars, government budget cuts, and drops in corporate support and sponsorship.
