Hello, There is a problem with the canadian layout: as can be read on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/64418 english-speaking canadian people actually use US keyboards, but base.xml only has an entry for country "ca" and language "fra", as if only french was spoken in Canada. Maybe there should be an "en" variant using the us layout and advertising the english language? Samuel

We do not display one variant twice. Since the default variant is the English one, there is no point to show it twice.
> There is default Canadian layout, which is for English. The launchpad bug precisely says it is not: `This is the proper behaviour: English Canada -> U.S. English keyboard ; French Canada -> Canadian keyboard'
Oops, my apologies, I was wrong. You're right, the default Canadian variant is the French one (actually, there is no English variant as such - there is only multilingual). The thing is that the default variant can only have a country name - there is no provision for any details. It is a convention used across the stack, so violating it will cause usability issues.
Mmm, but can't we do something like attached? (and define for the "ca" layout a "us" variant which just includes the "us" keyboard) It seems to me just like other similar cases (german vs french CH keyboards).
Well, may be ca(en) with just included us(basic) is an option. I will think of it after release.
Added ca(eng)
Should be fine, thanks!
