We won't let them do this, tabernacle..:-). More seriously speaking, when it comes to french language (this may differ for other widespread languages) in Debian and more generally speaking all free Unices, all french-speaking people work together on one translation. Several french l10n initiatives indeed come from Quebec, because of the spefcific sensitivity about preserving language and culture there....but in most of these, one may find French/Belgian/Swiss/others contributors. However, in Debian, for some unknown reasons, I'm not aware of any french-canadian contributor. Their presence in -devel-french or -l10n-french is very weak, or even null.
