Title:
  Incorrect date format in en_CA.utf8 locale

Status in GLibC:
  Fix Released
Status in langpack-locales package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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). I noticed this in
  Ubuntu 7.10.
