Now that Windows > 8, Mac OS X, and Ubuntu all use YYYY-MM-DD for Canadian
English by default, should this be revisited?

commit 71b67af1ffa57a0322ac1bd77141060fffc4b4e4
Author: Martin Pitt <martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>
Date:   Fri Aug 14 01:22:37 2015 -0400

    locales: en_CA: update d_fmt [BZ #9842]

    The date format in en_CA/LC_TIME specifies the date format as "%d/%m/%y".
    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.

[Bug localedata/9842] New: Incorrect date format in en_CA.utf8 locale

[martin dot pitt at ubuntu dot com]

From https://launchpad.net/bugs/214730:

The date format in /usr/lib/locale/en_CA.utf8/LC_TIME specifies the date format
as "%d/%m/%y". (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, by the way:
http://inms-ienm.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/faq_time_e.html#Q8.

------- Additional Comments From drepper at redhat dot com  2009-03-15 21:02 -------
I very much doubt this would go over well.  Yes, it is the proposed format.  But
the locale information is what people expect.  And I suspect they expect the
current format especially since the US format isn't going to change any time soon.
