They have enough clout to make announcers say their names the way

How about Bow-cher when it's really Bou-chez. (Boucher).
Or maybe they're just trying to point out that they're not foreigners

I hereby officially take offence on behalf of the several millions

However, being Canadian, I can shrug and go have supper without
thinking about it any more.
