As a Canadian, who is stuck between the British and US spellings for
many terms, I must point out:

According to the Microsoft's "English (US)" dictionary, both spellings
are valid.

Further, as search at Dictionary.com shows that only 1 of 3 dictionary
sources noted that "cancelled" was a _British_ spelling, the other 2
show it as a valid US spelling.

It would seem that the current spelling is valid, in both the US and UK
(and related), so it should remain as is.
