The Windows date for English Canada (default) is actually MMMM-DD-YY.

"No leading zero in default longdate - and no dashes either."(from this article's edit history) It's not true for me, because when I reset to the default formats, the date really is "MMMM-DD-YY", and not "MMMM D, YYYY"

Disputed accuracy

The lead of this article makes it seem as if the source TBITS 36: All-Numeric Representation of Dates and Times -Implementation Criteria supports the idea that ISO-8601 has been adopted as the standard date and time notation in Canada. But that document doesn't even adopt the bulk of ISO 8601; it doesn't address time notation at all. Furthermore, that source only addresses itself to machine-readable data exchange among government departments and agencies. It says naught about use by the general public or private businesses.
