What is the correct spelling of 'neighbor' in Canadian English?

In Canadian English, the correct spelling of 'neighbor' is 'neighbours.' This reflects a common pattern in Canadian and British English, where certain words include a 'u' before the 'r' to distinguish them from their American English counterparts, which often omit the 'u.'

The use of 'neighbours' incorporates the British influence seen in other words, such as 'colour' and 'favour,' and aligns with the Canadian linguistic identity which embraces both British and American spellings depending on the context. Thus, 'neighbours' exemplifies a key component of Canadian English spelling conventions.
