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.

I find there are often dozens of words and Canadian spellings this dictionary doesn't pick up, daily. Stuff that should be straight forward. From haemoglobin to borealis. How could these not be in there, but lots of stuff like this. Any time I comment there are legitimate words I constantly have to add, after vetting them with dictionaries. It's like not having a dictionary add on.
