Canadianizing
Adding eh, maybe
Canadianizing is making something more Canadian in character, style, or content.
This might mean adapting foreign material for Canadian audiences, incorporating Canadian spelling or cultural references, or bringing something under Canadian ownership or control: The publisher Canadianized the textbook by changing examples to Canadian cities and using metric measurements.
The process often involves substituting American elements with Canadian equivalents.
