Sorry if this comes across as pedantic, I’m genuinely curious and taking an interest
No worries, they’re good questions 😄. I’ll have to get someone else to weigh in, since I’m not all that confident on how each Canadian accents might pronounce it. Certain words have varying pronunciations across the country. This could be a fun question for our census at the end of the year

I have been saying “Fede” (as in federated) + “Can”, but I don’t think we’ve had any discussions on that :)

Aha, yeah, you’re not the first and won’t be the last to opt for Fede over Fedi.
Question though. Don’t the accents change the sound from e to eh? I thought it was a place on the Canadian stereotype of ending sentences with eh?
Sorry if this comes across as pedantic, I’m genuinely curious and taking an interest. Consider it a learning moment for me. 🥺
