I find that certain words, like color, are WAY more economical on the eyes than all that leftover latin/french "u" stuff that we Canadians still have to slog around.
I know Canada has USA cultural imports, but really you'll annoy the vast majority of readers doing your own hybrid of USA and British spelling. Also how can you reliably spellcheck it without your own custom dictionary.

It will just seem badly proofed. Use USA or not, not two schemes.
