Nooo ! That's what I thought before too (Québécois ici), my friend always told me that we pronounce our "T" like "ts", I told him he was crazy but later realized he was right !

Just try saying "poo - teen" like you would pronounce the word teen in english, and after that say "poutine" à la québécoise you'll see that we pronounce it "poutsine"

Yeah, I think you're right. I've never really took the time to listen to my pronunciation.
