> Isn't Canadian English similar to US English?

For the kinds of strings being translated in this repository, Canadian English spelling is closer to Australian English than American English, for example, “cancelled”, “centre”, and “licence” (versus AmEng “canceled”, “center”, and “license”, respectively). But as I mentioned in the PR, I’m more concerned about vocabulary than spelling, which most users can simply get used to. Unfortunately, there are also some differences in terminology that could cause confusion, such as “parkade” (versus “parking garage”) and “washroom” (versus “restroom”).
