What is this bug about? MediaWiki already supports it, but only if it makes sense to have it and somebody does it.

We have no MessagesEn_ca.php nor does Names.php have an entry for en-ca.

There's also bug 31015 talking about supporting US / UK spelling differences but no account for CA which is neither all en_US nor en_GB spellings.

And there wont be unless someone is going to supply the data. This applies to all languages: make translations at translatewiki.net and provide patches for things like date formatting, number grouping and so on.
