I'm too lazy to really type out my answers but I sure had fun talking to my boyfriend over the phone about this. It was interesting to see how we pronouce words differently. He's from Alberta and I'm from Ontario and there sure was a difference.

How you pronounce words is a funny thing, though. I say roof and broom, but one of my brothers, who grew up in the same house and went to the same schools, says ruff and brum. Both are correct. Some of your examples sound like what I'd consider US pronunciations, and I bet those are more common in TO now than they were when I grew up there in the 50s and 60s.
