http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/bring-US-keyboard-back-to-Canada/

Please share, post on facebook, twitter, email … wherever. Get the word out because I know a lot of people aren’t even aware they’ve done this.

We should have the choice to choose the layout we prefer. And it shouldn’t be a problem for manufacturers to do because:
1. They’ve done it since the beginning of computers
2. They still make the U.S. layout in the U.S. – ship them North

Works really well, Impressed how easy it was. Plus you can undo changes.

No more worrying about hitting that left backslash key by accident anymore.

Would still be nice if we did not have these crazy keyboards, but the fixes out there really help a lot.

Thanks for posting this tip.

At least we’ve got a workaround. If you wish only to turn the left slash into shift key, check one of the comments. It works perfectly.

As for the bilingual keyboard (a.k.a failboard) that plagues the Canadian market, I only wish that the O.L.F. (French Language Police that fines companies that fail to comply with French Imposition.) be known across Canada. They are the ones responsible for Anglophone Quebecers’ lives as unplaisant as possible.
