I must say the multilingual canadian keyboard is very smart (if complex)
and I would use it here in France if I could get my hands on a good usb
keyboard with the canadian symbols on it. The traditional french
keyboards are full of legacy typewriter limitations that make them very
hard to use to type correct french (ie for professionnal editing the
classic keyboards are useless without software routines that "fix" the
output, adding «», Œ/œ, accents on caps etc).

A good source for multilingual canadian maps is Guylhem Aznar's

(in french, sorry)
