Question for Canadians - do you say "zi" or "zed"? (piefed.social)

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?

I also say both and have no idea which one is going to come out of my mouth until it's said.
