Have a look at the official site (http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/ibp/inms/about/faq-time.html#Q8): "Canadian Standard CAN Z234-4 specifies numeric representations of date and time. The recommended full format is of the form 2001-12-31 23:59:28.73 UTC. It is compatible with International Standard ISO 8601." This means this is the format people are (should be) expecting. Thus, the current locale file is incorrect and the patch should be applied. Without the patch, the en_CA locale follows the US standard, which is one of the none official way of writting the date time format here (we use three different ways to write date time, but only one is official and should be used). -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
