Very based of the Carney government IMO. The most ‘elbows up’ stance would be to intentionally reject former American influences and purposefully adopt more British spellings in standard Canadian English.
Our sovereignty and cultural identity isn’t under threat from the UK, it is under threat from the USA.
Bonus: we could use the phrase “speak the King’s English” more often - its one step away from monocles being back in fashion.
Yep, that’s my takeaway too. And why I’ve utilised the same, although I draw the line at “gaol”. A Canadian spelling that’s hard to tell from the American one is just a tradition waiting to disappear.
