I would like to reinforce the fact that even though we are using the French Canadian culture the first day of week is Sunday. It is the same with the keyboard for instance, event though we are speaking French we use the QWERTY keyboard and not the AZERTY one. Unfortunately, I do not know any official documents but I doubt the oqlf has any jurisdiction in that exact matter since it is a provincial agency. They cannot enforce anything for the country.

Canada has two official languages, French and English, is it really logical to have en-CA with Sunday and fr-CA with Monday ? In my opinion the first day of week should not be related to the language but with the culture. The language and the culture is the same thing for some people but they are two different concepts.

Moreover, before finding this bug I search launchpad to see if other people have reported this problem in their culture and I found some. Maybe Ubuntu should let the users override this setting in case of uncertainty.

Merci
