is it common to say [bɪr] in canada? i learned something!

Note that I'm not great with IPA, English is my second language, and I made this while stoned 2 years ago, so it might not necessarily be accurate! :P I'm pretty sure that's how most people pronounce it here. Although Canadian English is a wonderful mishmash of American and British Engliah, with a hint of French and Indigenous influences.

How do people say it in your neck of the woods?
