Title:
  Apt sources for Canada are crippled

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I know you mean well, and they mean well, but please stop setting
  Canadian Ubuntu installations to use the "Canadian" mirror site as
  that site only retains a bare minimum of packages and as such gives
  Ubuntu a bad reputation for basic components (such as drivers) being
  "not found" -- on any fresh installation, my first step is *always* to
  correct this setting, and to someone new to Ubuntu, they'd simply
  conclude that Ubuntu itself is crippled.
