Eh... I'd assume that the spellings of English words like 'litre' instead of 'liter' are just as bizarre to us Americans as the reverse is for others.
I'd be particularly interested in whether the pronunciation of the word follows the change in spelling.

Spelling just changed in America. That's just the way we spell things. We also spell "colour" like "color" and we take the "s" out of "maths." I guess it's just a regional difference.

I wonder if the Canadian spelling has a french influence and the U.S. does not?

Because we're Americans. Why do you spell it 'centre'? To me that's misspelled. When in Rome..........
