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).

Here's the web page from the National Research Council of Canada citing ISO 8601
as the standard date/time format in Canada, by the way:

I very much doubt this would go over well.  Yes, it is the proposed format.  But
the locale information is what people expect.  And I suspect they expect the
current format especially since the US format isn't going to change any time 
soon.
