Comment 10 for bug 548787

Being a French-speaking Québécois, I understand that language choice in Canada can be a touchy subject, but I have to agree that the default language for Canada should be English, simply because English is the majority language in the country. When Ronan speaks of a census, he doesn't talk about a survey on an English site, he's talking about the Canadian census that is done every 5 years by Statistics Canada, and which comprises the answers of all participating citizens, from coast to coast.

Now, to circumvent these frustrations, and to give this issue a positive outcome, I would suggest that Québec be recognized as a nation within the keyboard layout settings. Québec has already been recognized as a nation within a nation by the federal government (on November 22, 2006), and as such could be entitled to its own keyboard layout.

I don't believe in no-win scenarios. I think the solution I am proposing is elegant, relatively easy to implement, and satisfactory to all parties involved.
