This an important lesson to take into 2026. Creating an updated Canadian dictionary isn't about maplewashing (in the 2016 sense) our identity: it is about honestly reflecting how English has been and continues to be used in Canada—critically and with pride.

Quadrifid describes something that is divided into four lobes, parts or segments. This often exists in nature. Think of a moth’s wings or a leaf with four perfect segments. Keep an eye out on your next hike for some quadrifid examples in nature! #CanadianEnglishDictionary
Definition of quadrifid on a white and black background that is divided into 4 by a black line.
