I would like to reinforce the fact that even though we are using the
French Canadian culture the first day of week is Sunday. It is the same
with the keyboard for instance, event though we are speaking French we
use the QWERTY keyboard and not the AZERTY one.  Unfortunately, I do not
know any official documents but I doubt the oqlf has any jurisdiction in
that exact matter since it is a provincial agency.  They cannot enforce
anything for the country.

Canada has two official languages, French and English, is it really
logical to have en-CA with Sunday and fr-CA with Monday ? In my opinion
the first day of week should not be related to the language but with the
culture.  The language and the culture is the same thing for some people
but they are two different concepts.

Moreover, before finding this bug I search launchpad to see if other
people have reported this problem in their culture and I found some.
Maybe Ubuntu should let the users override this setting in case of
uncertainty.

Merci
