Not just Canadians. Commonwealth English generally uses "Zed".

As a non-native English speaker, I find "zee" confusing. It's difficult to distinguish from the word for c (see).
I use characters from the phonetic alphabet to prevent misspellings of some easily mis-heard characters. But not zed, rather zebra. I don't use zulu. I watched too many StarTrek episodes with Mister Sulu.
Interesting history, nonetheless
