Protein and poutine do not rhyme if you pronounce poutine the proper way in Canadian French. And you are right of course that gelatin and practice have the short "ee" sound at the end whereas skeleton and and cactus have the "uh" sound. |

I looked it up, and sure, it sounds about the same in Canadian French as someone saying Vladimir Putin[1]. But I've never heard anyone say it that way myself, and in neutral French (according to the linked video, at least), it's pronounced 'pooh-teen', which sounds exactly like protein (I don't know if you pronounce protein different, but for me it's 'pro-teen').
