Do you differentiate between American, British, and Canadian English?

Not yet. For now, American, British, and Canadian variations of words are in our dictionary.

However British English words are highlighted in my drafts with the squiggly red line (harbour, realisation and customisation) for example.

Is this what support means by being in the dictionary? Solid red indicating wrong spelling, while other versions of English not wrong, just not right either. Proofreading tool correctly skips over them, it just is a little annoying during the editing process :)

I'm not sure where to begin except to say I had a hard time understanding what you were trying to say, aside from the fact that you support some causes and oppose others. I guess I'll just offer that opinion pieces are neither news nor journalism, which is not to say they don't have value if truthfully advertised. You are attempting to take stands, whatever they are. It won't benefit you to pretend it's news. You are writing Op-Ed.
