Canadian English Dictionary
For some reason, Mozilla doesn't have a Canadian localization team, but I know that even the British dictionary doesn't quite cut it for the truly patriotic.
Canadian English Dictionary Firefox Add-on
The 'Canadian English Dictionary' is a specialized Firefox add-on by Mozilla. It is designed to bridge the gap in Mozilla's localization by adding Canadian English to the suite of languages available for spell checking, suiting the preferences of the truly patriotic Canadians. Users can easily switch their preferred language to Canadian English post-installation by simply right-clicking on a text box.

It was a pleasure having and using a singular source when correcting papers. I regard Mr. Schmiedge's effort as one more step on the road towards a good single source.
