Canada tends to stick more closely to the British English, but sue to its proximity to the United States, has taken on some American characteristics. One major difference is that Canadians spell things differently. Canadians say "cash this cheque", whereas Americans say " cash this check". Canadians use "colour", Americans use "color". Basically, Canadians are right and Americans are wrong. (Just kidding!)

Canada is still a commonwealth with England, the Queen is the offical head of Canada. Canadian English is adapted from England. American English has been modified from orginal English. Most of the words have the same meaning but both do have differences to reflect cultural difference.

Generally, in terms of spelling, Canadian English is similar to British English, but in terms of dialect it is similar to American English, simply because Canada and the USA are so close geographically. In terms of detail, there are lots of regional variations--for example, "soda" in America would be "pop" in Canada.

The difference is the lack of literacy in a President Roosevelt. He was useless at English, so decided to officially dumb down spelling so simple people (Americans) could understand. "See you tonite at the BBQ" bwahahaha
