BF> It's hard for me to see the difference between Canada and USA,
BF> anyway when it comes to the language.

The official stance is that Canadian English is based on British English.
The Americans have modified the language to their own end.

The best indicator is the spelling, note the following example: neighbour
and neighbor.  There are more, just subtle differences.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
