Personally find it pretty rude that Britons change the spelling on American proper nouns when it doesn’t fit into British English. It LABOR Department, NASA, Center for Disease Control. American media has the courtesy to recognize that the political group of Tony Blair is Labour, and not Labor. Now, it is improbable that they are doing this deliberately to be rude, but that is how it seems.
Don’t bet that anything canadians do is not to be rude. Their entire political system is based on their condescending attitude and disdain for America. They can’t get their country going on their own, but they are very quick to hate someone who can. Like us. Do you know that their federal government finances their TV programs and movies? Almost 100% of their film entertainment has some government money in it. Talk about losers - they can’t even get an entertainment industry going. Their idea of investing is the “tax loss” game. Geez.
