Problems trying to get currency separator correct for CAD

[bunk3m]

Hi Warlord.

If this is bug in  the locale configuration, then why do Excel, SEE
Finance, Libreoffice-Calc etc. etc. all use the proper currency
separator (ie. "dot")? 

If the locale had a bug then the other programs would also use "comma"
just like Gnucash.   Yes???
