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.
