11, 12 and 14 should be different. Definitely 11, especially for a maritimer, it shouldn't even be close.
12 and 14 are examples of Canadian raising. Vague rhymes with "beg" not "bag". Right starts with "ri" whereas ride starts with "rai". It's hard to explain but you definitely should be able to differentiate between the two when you say them aloud.
