Steve,

I'd like to ask you to keep the tone down, as it had been before your
comment. We're just trying to determine which is the best default
keyboard option for Canada, nothing else.

If you think the default should stay as French, that's absolutely fine,
but it be more useful to provide some real data as feedback, and keep
the discussion for forums or more appropriate mediums than a bug
tracker.

Thanks.

Regards,
David.
