Problem started with watching About That on the train crashes in Spain(1), the host kept pronouncing LZB as LCB, I have no idea why but I only figured this out because I needed subtitles to understand his accent.

Having an accent is fine but I figured somewhere in the production pipeline someone should have informed him of the letter and redubbed segments, since it didn't happen I decided to write in. Apparently it's using a Microsoft sign in. No part of Canada's public should be using Microsoft products but especially for something so trivial. This was discovered when [2] clicking a link to their help centre [3]. They also use Cloudflare on their site which is again a piece of American tech that they shouldn't be using. Speaking of which, I would have used the gem link instead of youtube but it requires an account so I will include it as [4] for the purposes of url gore.

Z is often pronounced "zee" instead of "zed" in Canada

It is pronounced that way in the USA, and their unfortunately outsized influence on Canadian media has caused it to change the way some Canadians pronounce it.

But the officially taught way remains using the commonwealth pronunciation "zed".
