(This is also the case if you run the command 'locale LC_TIME' with your locale set to en_CA.utf8.) However, it should be "%Y-%m-%d". This is the standard date format in Canada (as specified by the Canadian Standards Association in CSA Z234.5:1989, which adopts the ISO 8601 standard). Here's the web page from the National Research Council of Canada citing ISO 8601 as the standard date/time format in Canada: http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/services/time/faq/#Q8 International Standard ISO 8601 specifies numeric representations of date and time. The recommended full format is of the form 2001-12-31 23:59:28.73 UTC. The intent of this standard is to avoid confusion in international communications which can arise with the many different national notations. This format has the advantage that it permits dates to be readily sorted in chronological order by computer systems. Windows 8+ and OS X also switched to this format. 2015-08-14 Martin Pitt [BZ #9842] * locales/en_CA (d_fmt): Change to %Y-%m-%d. --- localedata/locales/en_CA | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/localedata/locales/en_CA b/localedata/locales/en_CA index bc52baa..6f09281 100644 --- a/localedata/locales/en_CA +++ b/localedata/locales/en_CA @@ -124,7 +124,7 @@ mon "";/ "";/ "" d_t_fmt "" -d_fmt "" +d_fmt "" t_fmt "" am_pm "";"" t_fmt_ampm ""
