Morning word pondering: is the verb "deke" a Canadianism?

Common usage examples:
"The cat was chasing me and I deked him out."

"I was in the area anyway so I deked into the 7Eleven for a bag of chips."

The likely origin domain is hockey as inโ€ฆ
"Lafleur deked around the defenseman and put it into the net."

Abuse survivors unsatisfied after human rights tribunal settlement comes with NDA | CBC News

Jeanie McKay alleged gender discrimination by York Regional Police because she said they didn't investigate her allegations of historical sexual abuse from the 1980s. She took her case to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, and it was settled with an non-disclosure agreement โ€” a restriction that transparency advocates say shields public institutions from accountability.

Randomly decided to listen to Ron Sexsmith's major label debut from 1995, knew basically nothing about him, but I've really enjoyed him. A mellow, introspective folk with little flashes of rock here and there. I would listen to more.

An update to that #Cricut experiment: I decided to stress-test it a little bit and see how it would handle a complicated image trace! I brought a photo of the reverse side of my Centennial mug into #Inkscape and traced the image, then back into Design Studio, cut in the same white vinyl, and applied. To pull back the curtain a bit, I actually cut it at the same time as the front design - but I quickly discovered that I'd need a proper weeding tool to do this justice. My sizing is all over the show here, but I'm not upset about it. I'm slightly more upset that I wasn't paying that much attention while weeding (I was watching The Diplomat with my wife at the time) and weeded out part of the actual design. Whoops! Still looks awesome and if I spent more time (and attention) it would have turned out even better. I'm really enjoying learning this stuff.
