Is /dZ{v@skrIpt/ the standard pronunciation in Canadian English? I was watching some videos of someone from Mozilla that sounded like he had Canadian raising of /aU/ and /aI/, and he consistently pronounced it like that rather than as /dZQv@skrIpt/

OK, I know this reply is not particularly relevant. I was just curious to see dz representing 'j', because this is how dz sounds in Polish.
dʒ giant, joy, edge
j yes, hallelujah

dZ is the XSAMPA way of indicating the j sound. XSAMPA is an ASCII representation of IPA.
From the Wikipedia page about Canadian English:
<<Loanwords that have a low central vowel in their language of origin, such as llama, pasta, and pyjamas, as well as place names like Gaza, tend to have /æ/ rather than /ɑ/ (which is the same as /ɒ/ due to the father-bother merger, see below); this also applies to older loans like drama.>>
So, yeah, looks like this pronounciation is standard in most of Canada.
