I do understand your point and I respect it. I usually change the format to ISO
8601 in my applications when it's possible. I also agree that if this is the
format people are expecting, it should also stay as it is. Googling the
question shows very different answers. Wikipedia says the format is used in
Canada along with others (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date). It's
true that I come from Quebec, where we use a lot more the ISO format/official
canadian sources, so I must be biased and that must explain why I usually see a
different format than the one in en_CA even if I'm living with, writing to and
working with english people here.
Cheers,
Alex
