As another Brit, it’s not, no. It’s too good a word for any country to keep to themselves. On Mastodon someone suggested Chinook was British too, but I only know about that 'cos of the helicopter.
Chinook is an indegenous word (and people), originating specifically with the people living in what is now modern day Washington/B.C.
Honestly, as a Canadian, I never really use the word myself. But Z is pronounced ZED. And I spell it coloUr and honoUr.
Pop is a British (and American) word, too
