Personally, none.

Do you hear it in a day?

I think it's honestly less common here, at least in my circles. It's occasionally used as a replacement for "huh" and I mostly hear it from older people and at places like bars and liquor stores.

I can believe that. I spent a few days in Ottawa last year and didn't hear anyone say it. Hell, I only met one guy who said "aboot" (which really sounds more like "aboat" anyway).

Last time I took a plane, transit was super easy. The 747 bus goes from the airport to the southernmost LRT station, so you can get downtown pretty quick by public transit,

For a second I thought someone in Canada had turned a Boeing 747 into a bus, and was really excited. Then I realized you meant the route number of the bus and I was disappointed again.

people here are substantially more patriotic (you would never see a Californian town covered in American flags like you see in New England or the Mid Atlantic)

I live in San Diego, and I dispute this claim.

In the US there's places where the same stretch of highway is considered part of multiple different numbered highways (the :spergin: term is concurrency, which I did not know until I just now googled the subject). Maybe the same applies in Canada.
