It's silly for there to be such a thing as Canadian Spelling.

British spelling, USA spelling... just pick one and move on.

Ideally all English-speaking countries would go for something more phonetic, but economic power and inertia trumps simplicity.

Everyone should use Canadian spelling as it's the intermediary between both British and USA spelling it makes the most sense for the Americans and Brits to adopt it.
