Well I messed around with gedit and managed to fix my problems to be 
manageable.  I noticed that gedit was complaining about the South African 
english dictionary whenever I used the spellcheck, outputting in terminal:
"error: duplicate REP tables used
Failure loading aff file /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_ZA.aff"

So I uninstalled the South African (en_za) myspell dictionary through
synaptic (myspell-en-za) which also uninstalls some english
compatibility stuff but doesn't seem to be a problem for me.

Now gedit defaults to en-gb which is close enough to Canadian for me.
