There is no such animal as "the Canadian liter" . - A liter is a litre wherever we are and however we spell it. (Liter is the usual spelling of 'litre' in American English and is used only in the United States, the rest of the world including France, England, Canada and Australia spell it the proper way -'litre' .)

The litre is the volume of 1 Kilogram of water at 4 degrees Celsius at sea level. This makes many metric measures very simple. A gram, one thousandth part of a Kilo is the weight of a millilitre of water. The millilitre is one thousandth part of a litre. The 'cc' or cubic centimetre is the volume of a millilitre of water.

'Cups' are a product of standard measurement and so do not fit in with the metric system, so a litre of water is 4.409cups, or a 'cup' is 0.227 of a litre.
