The "why" is probably for historical reasons. In general, several words are spelled differently (compared to the U.S.), not only in Canada, but in Great Britain as well; this is usually known as the "British spelling". Some changes are meter --> metre, liter --> litre, and other similar words. Another large group of words whose spelling changes is color --> colour, labor --> labour, flavor --> flavour, etc. (I put the American U.S. spelling first, the British spelling second, in these examples.)
