    Yeah, no. In Canada it’s maybe referred to as McDee’s, Micky Dee’s, McDonald’s, but nothing similar to Macca’s

      As an Australian living in Canada, yes it’s Macca’s in Australia, but a Canadian friend also told me they have McDicks.

        Seconded. I’ll still habitually call it Maccas and my Canadian friends slowly adopt the term. I actually had a moment of doubt that it was an Australian thing for a while because of that.

        Who knows maybe in 20 years it’ll be ubiquitous.

        In Canadian English “yeah, no”, “yeah, no, yeah”, “no, yeah”, and “yeah, no, for sure” are just sayings (here’s a random reference I found). I just meant “yeah, like you suggest, no, other countries might not use the term”
