I had thought Canada spelled words like the UK more often than not.

Reading this, I wonder how this became an issue to become big enough to have an article written about it.

Then hearing the justifications about why it might be, in turn, pitting a few characters in text on the canadianness of a politician, or not.

If you can imagine a word processor somewhere writing this, maybe it didn't have it's language set to English (Canada)?

Some folks here have said sometimes it can feel like there might be folks trying to grasp at straws.
