Keyboards - Availability in Canada

[Renata Rocha]

Now I'm curious: what's the Canadian default keyboard layout? US?

I use us_intl in my netbook, but they are becoming extinct in Brazil.
You only find ABNT2 layouts - and I absolutely hate them. But I need
to use them at my workplace, and, have to admit, it's easier to write
in pt_BR under GTK using them, because of GTK's bizarre cedilla
default configuration. If you have a international keyboard and  don't
get GTK manually configured,  typing c + '  returns a weird
eastern-european character, not a ç. I really don't know their
argument as Portuguese is in the top 10 of most spoken languages of
the world. I wonder how many people are annoyed everyday.



I may have a DE keyboard at my mom's (she bought for me in Germany
just because of the eszet), but she lives in Rio de Janeiro. If it's
still there, it's totally new.
