Canadian English
Canadian English is subject to the conflicting influences of British and US American English. In vocabulary there is a lot of US American influence: Canadians use billboard, gas, truck, and wrench rather than hoarding, lorry, petrol, and spanner; but on the other hand they agree with the British in saying blinds, braces, porridge, and tap rather than shades, suspenders, oatmeal, and faucet.
