  [Metre is the standard spelling of the metric unit for length in nearly all English-speaking nations, the exceptions being the United States[3][4][5][6] and the Philippines[7] which use meter.](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre)

      Not sure where your information is from, but in Australia I see “metre” way more often than “meter”. Weird how your stat exactly matched Canada as well.

      British English is the correct form, but American culture seeps into every facet of the world’s culture.

      I know Canadian friends who spell colour and honour without the ‘u.’
