As a Canadian living in Virginia, I had no problem migrating to "soda". Was never a big fan of the word pop anyway. Soda rolls of the tongue a little nicer.
However, toque is a word I will always hold on to, even if no one knows what the hell I am saying. In fact my kids, who never even lived in Canada, will always wear a toque on their their head. They sure as hell are not going to tell anyone that they are wearing a toboggan on their head (I will never not lmao inside when I hear someone call a toque a toboggan, as they do in the south)!
