I'm seeking advices for #475482. console-data recently got a new keymap, namely "ca-multi", which features the "Canadian multilingual" keymap. This keymap is standardized by standard bodies in Canada and seems to be available from several hardware vendors.
My understanding is that local official bodies are required to use this keymap (particularly in Quebec....but the standard seems to apply to the entire country). On the other hand, it is pretty leikely that English-speaking users in Canada traditionnally use the US keymap (see #475482). The point is whether the *default* keymap preselected in D-I should be "us" or "ca-multi" when English+Canada is chosen. That keymap choice also influences the X keymap choice. That could be a sensitive choice (linguistic topics in Canada always are), which is why I'm seeking for more advice, particularly from Canadian users (or users living in Canada).
