<div dir="ltr">It's easy to think that you need a Canadian keyboard during the Ubuntu install. I probably messed up there a few times myself.

Sounds like your physical keyboard does not match the keyboard layout the system thinks you're using. If you're on Ubuntu 14.04, you can go to System Settings > Text Entry and select a different keyboard layout. The '+' button lets you add another choice from a list and the little icon of a keyboard will display a picture of what it thinks the keyboard looks like. My guess is wither you have a Canadian Multilingual physical keyboard and the system is using an English (US) or English (Canada) mapping, or vice-versa. Setting the proper keyboard mapping will make your life a lot easier. Of course, I could be wrong (I'm just guessing after all). -- Stephen M.
