I've never heard a Canadian say soda, and I've lived in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Ontario, and now Quebec*. Everyone I've ever known says pop. (Soft drink would be the kind of word that would be on a menu or something, but not something you would usually say in everyday life.)<br /><br />*Granted, I do not not know very many born-and-raised Quebec anglos (most of the people I know are either francophones or transplants like me); perhaps they would say soda? Though it's not a French loan word (like saying "stage" instead of internship or practicum), so I'm not sure why that would be the case if so.<br /><br />Sorry for the tangent -- I do realize this is not a language blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7619784546383458286.post-11411455613732119432010-04-07T10:37:05.697-07:002010-04-07T10:37:05.697-07:00I am in Montreal, but originally come from Quebec ...I am in Montreal, but originally come from Quebec city.
