They're Canadian; do they pronounce it "oon't"?

Here's a Torontan headline that should throw all the English teachers in the world into a snit:

That buzz ain't just the caffeine.


Or has this now become acceptable?

If it has, when are we going to finally get around to multiple contractions, such as "He'sn't"?

There's nothing logically wrong with "ain't." The taboo on it is just a historical accident.
