                                  are they not pronounced the same?

                                  and Cant means leaning to one side, correct?

                                      Many words have more than one meaning (homographs)
                                      e.g. Field. Mine, nail - etc.

                                              "Cant" is gaelic for "song." In the political arena it means reciting the words someone had fed you.

                                                  early 16th century: probably from Latin cantare ‘to sing’ (see chant). The early meaning was ‘musical sound, singing’; in the mid 17th century this gave rise to the senses ‘whining manner of speaking’ and ‘form of words repeated mechanically in such a manner’ (for example a beggar's plea), hence ‘jargon’ (of beggars and other such groups).

                                                      And "cant" is gaelic for "song," no need to anglicize it. "Form of words repeated mechanically" is a very good definition.
