Canadian English is actually different to American English, you know.
Canadians can't even agree on what Canadian English is, so whatevs. We have a couple style guides for "official" Canadian English editing/writing but I've never worked with anyone who ever followed them.

No, just sense and sensibility.
 
Well, I never was much good at persuasion.
 
One week in, the sore throat/tonsillitis is still not gone :mad:.

You gave me your sore throat. :( I haven't had one of these in over 6 years.

I don't like it!
