All of the Canadian youtubers that I watch pronounce the letter z as "zi", as is done in the United States. However, I have read online that it is more common for Canadians to pronounce it as "zed", as is done in the United Kingdom. Is this a regional thing? How do you pronounce the letter z?

As far as I can remember I was taught in school to say it as 'zee'. But that was in secondary language classes and that was a long time ago... We definitely say it as 'zed' in French though.
