Sanction is the exact opposite of sanction, but you never see people moan about that for some reason

Table can mean "to discuss a topic at a meeting" (British English) or "to postpone discussion of a topic" (American English). Canadian English uses both meanings of the word

Canada . . . seriously? I can't sanction that type of behaviour.

That's the problem with being influenced by both British and American English. We have both senses in New Zealand English too, although I think the US one is slowly winning out and the British one might one day fall out of use.
