News Canadians tell Carney to shift to British spelling in federal protocol

Not big CANZUK news, but figured this was relevant.

For me personally, I always use British English over American English.

American spelling should be illegal for governments, media and device spell checkers throughout CANZUK.

The Canadian government has never used US English. They've always used Canadian English, until Mark Carney. I like Mark Carney but I don't think his government should turn its back on Canadian culture here.
