Canadians pronounce the letter "z" as zed? Why on earth would they do that?

Because Canada was a British colony until confederation, I suppose, and the Brits use "zed".

I think only Americans use "zee" (which makes more sense to me, but I'm American too). Maybe we dumped the "ed" along with the tea in Boston Harbor as a rebellion? [/tongue in cheek, no insults implied]

Apparently raithen posted a youtube thingie explaining it on her lj here. I haven't watched it myself because I'm on stupid dialup.
