The general type of beverage - pop.

When ordering in a restaurant I ask if they serve Coke or Pepsi products.

When ordering my specific beverage I ask for Coke or Gingerale or Sprite, etc. Soda is a specific flavour, like those just named.

Canadian here as well.

ETA: I forgot about "soft drink". I use that too. Depends who I'm talking to.

I call it soda.... or by the specific name (i.e. "Sprite" "Ginger Ale" etc)

There's a map that made the rounds of my FB feed some time ago that breaks it down by area:

Soda - I'm on the west coast. But I lived in Israel until I was 7 and "soda" in Israel (and Europe) means soda water, like, tonic water. I remember when we moved to the states and family friends asked us if we wanted soda and we were like "Noooo!". Then we saw it was coke and were super jealous because our parents didn't let us drink it at home. Learned quickly :-)
