What distinguishes it from the R is “surplus”, for example? In both cases it’s followed by a P and another semiglide.
Apologies if this pronunciation is regional to the Western Hemisphere, but I’m very curious regardless.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English, a friend of mine was a linguistics major and loved talking about it. I also learned a nonstandard dialect is why my “coil” sounds like col. There was a NY times quiz that tried to figure out where you were from based on some word and pronunciation questions, I wonder if theres a similar one for Canada.
