«Toronto» or «Torono»?
I heard that Canadians call Toronto «Torono» (sorry if i'm mistaken)
They sound the word without the second «T», aren't they? Why? Is it accent?
Thank you in advance!

"Torono" is a very common North American pronunciation of the word. Remember that in North American English, the "t" is often barely tapped with the tongue, unlike the British pronunciation. Example: "wanted" sounds like "wanned".

It's a regional and class accent, but Canada is a big country and the further away you are from Toronto the more pronounced the second "t" becomes.

Yes, Americans: no sense of proper pronunciation :(
Worse, though.
party --> pardy
.
Recently had a CEO spent time in teh USA - horrific, all those "t"s becoming "d". <shudders, cringes>
Really interested to know how they tell the difference between words with a "t" and a "d" in that case.
