A team at McGill University are surveying "adult speakers of Canadian English" about their use of the language, including grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation:
https://www.mcgill.ca/canadianenglish/.

The announcement says that the survey will take 15-20 minutes to complete. It's partly an update of a survey on Canadian English from 1972, and I heard about it from an online friend who lives in Montreal.

That was fun. Thank you for linking it.

It seems to be measuring how much our language is influenced by British vs French vs American. The results will be interesting.
