Since Canadian English and Canadian spelling help to distinguish us from other English-speaking countries and thus contribute to our sense of national identity, we agree that it would be a shame if they disappeared. If you would like to share your ideas on preserving Canadian English, we invite you to contribute a post to the Our Languages Blog.
