Sorry, my mistake. I have LC_TIME set explicitly (to the Swedish
locale), so I should have done:
$ LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8 locale d_fmt
%y-%m-%d
which proves you are right.
Normally you should file a new bug, but it appears to me that they made
a mistake 5 years ago, so let's say this is a correction of that fix. ;)
Reopening.

Title:
Incorrect date format in en_CA.utf8 locale
Status in The GNU C Library:
Won't Fix
Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
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). I noticed this in
Ubuntu 7.10.
