«Toronto» or «Torono»? :D
I heard, that Canadians call Toronto «Torono» (they sound the word without the second «T» or?..)
Why? Is it accent?

Question

Answer

Many of us Ontarians shorten it and use T.O.  "I was in T.O. today."  "Oh... what were you doing in 'Torono'?"

Answer

That is exactly correct. It's also prevalent in the Mid-West American Accent. It's just how we say it, it's still spelled "Toronto". It also happens in words like "counter" (said like "couner") and "disintegrate" (said like "disinegrate").

Answer

This is how "Toronto" is pronounced by Torontonians. It's the Toronto accent. You can hear the way it's pronounced here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa-88Nt1aTs#t=1m17s
