Hello

I suspected this may be a touchy subject. Sorry if i have offended
anybody. My only point was that Ubuntu is supposed to be about being
easy to use and this is the second time I have done an install of Ubuntu
picking all the Canadian defaults only to find many of the keys on my
keyboard are not behaving as they normally do. I am not a language
keyboard expert but I know it was more then a few keys in different
places. This is the keybord that came up by default It is quite
different. I have linked an image below.

Most computers in Canada have us keyboards. Although I admit
multilingual keyboards are becoming easier to get. here in Nova Scotia I
have seen a few laptops in retail stores labeled with us and
multilingual keys.

Anyway I think the official Canadian stats show a good cause for either
a us keyboard default with a clear way to select a multilingual option,
or a forced keyboard selection with no default.

I should also mention that I have only had this happen with the command
line installer. I recently did some checking and us keyboards are the
default in the gui installer.

Windows and Mac both default to US keyboards for Canada.
