Jonathan Stewart's solution worked for me in 8.04 as well, but with a
few minor changes to this line:

sudo mv en_CA* /usr/share/myspell/dicts

Thus the sequence looks like:

wget 
http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/en_CA.zip
unzip en_CA.zip
sudo mv en_CA.* /usr/share/myspell/dicts
cd /usr/share/myspell/dicts/
sudo chown root:root en_CA.*
sudo ln -s en_CA.aff en-CA.aff
sudo ln -s en_CA.dic en-CA.dic

I also tried adding:
THES en CA th_en_US_v2

to the bottom of the dictionary.lst file (that is how the GB thesaurus
is done) but that didn't work. :(
