Schools here in Canada, Ontario (Newmarket, Ontario to be precise) are teaching students to spell the US way. Not Canadian. Why?
I don't know but it makes me angry. No modifying, polite, adjectives, just plain angry.
It is hard to find Canadian spelling online. It is not offered as an option. You can easily find options for US and UK spelling. All English spelling is not created equal. What about Canada, Australia and other cultures who use the English language in their own way?
People need to speak up, spell up! Tell site owners, webmasters, content marketers and the rest of them to offer Canadian spelling (or whatever English spelling you come from).
Most of all - Use your Canadian spelling yourself. Keep it alive, active and popular.
I thought about going to Toronto WordCamp, the WordPress thing. But, I think it will be all about people making sites for clients and not just people making sites. I really dislike the marketing focus with so much online, not just WordPress. But, with WP it has become an obsession, almost a cult. If you aren't part of the marketing cult you are not allowed to have an opinion.
The WordCamp is focused on Gutenberg. A bad sign. Gutenberg seems to be a faster way for web developers to make cookie cutter sites for clients. It is all about that current fad of using content blocks. I'm already done with that. I don't like seeing blocks of content on sites and scrolling down through their coloured content bars. Move on to something else, please.
The rest of the WordCamp is about the future of WP. That would be interesting but... I expect the future the Gutenberg cookie cutter site people see is not the future I would like. I really wish I had found a better way to work with my content, a different CMS from WordPress. But, I tried that and ended up back at the start. For now. Don't think I have given up. I'm just suspending the mission for awhile.
I wrote to ask about the WordCamp in Toronto, Ontario. But, I never (yet) heard back from them. I think I didn't say all the right keywords.
