It seems some Canadians feel quite at home with the federal government’s preference for British spelling.
Why is this even a story?
Canada (and the rest of the commonwealth) has always used the Queen’s (King’s) English spellings.
It’s only the Americans who are different.
Though they have exported their preference along with their “cultural exports” to the point where some people start adopting it.
No, Canada has its own spelling conventions that are neither British nor American.
Realize instead of realise but colour instead of color and travelled instead of traveled.
I did try to protest to CBC over the use of American spelling in one of their articles but the error submission failed.
However
A flurry of emails to Carney followed news last December that promoters of Canadian English objected to the federal government’s use of British spelling in official documents.
Bunch of idiots. It’s the British spelling or it’s wrong. There isn’t a uniquely Canadian mix.
