Canadian English
There are many websites claiming to explain what a Canadianism is      but very few are as clear as Walter Avis when he states that:  “a word, expression or meaning which is native to Canada or which is distinctively characteristic of Canadian usage though not necessarily exclusive to Canada”; many of these are simply lists of terms. Others, like the online Canadian Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia.com offer greater detail into the topic of Canadianisms but it is unclear how much influence they have on social awareness. Clearly there is not only great need for better collaboration between scholars and media but also greater effort placed on public outreach and education.
