A huge change in 8 years

Canadian is not British english. At least not in the way we say things anyhow. We have a british guy working for us and when he'* talking there are somethings he says when explaining something, that makes us all look at him weird and then tell him what it is called over here.

But we are still apart of the British colony... Plain and simple.
And if you have ever had federal excise charge you would have to pay a penalty to the queen. Not that I have ever had one of them charges but know of a few people who have.
