You’d be correct.

Both my NH Grandmother and my Prom date of 1961 used “cahn” and “cahn’t”. Grammy also used “shahn’t”. (shall/should not).

Then there’s “twenny”. (20).

And “Bea’ulls”, British singers with funny haircuts from the 60s.

Don’t rely on Vermont’s Senator (I-VT) for a Vermont accent.
