The thing is you DON'T NEED Canadian English spell-check to spell proper Canadian English. You only need your own brain. It's not a "millions of dollars" problem. If Canadians want to protect their culture, they should be educating their citizens how to spell what they believe to be properly. Of course Canadian English is just an amalgam of British and American English so I hardly think our spellings are worth protecting.
Ooh look at us, we use American spelling like tire and curb (versus tyre and kerb), and American words like gas and hood (versus petrol and bonnet). But then we also use British spellings like colour, honour, valour, centre, theatre (versus color, honor, valor, center, theater). Wow how original. Lemme find that rolling eye smiley.
I agree completely. If that's as original as Canada gets, we're doomed.
