[GNC] Balance sheet totals showing zeros?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Ken, GnuCash should, by default, set those preferences to match your 
computer's locale. If you are in Canada, unless you have a good reason 
to use a different one, your OS should be set to Canada as your locale. 
Then these preferences wouldn't be an issue.

Regards,
Adrien
