I'm sorry, but this is a fairly extreme corner case we just cannot support. 
The locale selection is already fairly complex and I see no reason to make 
it even more complex, even in expert mode.

You can already select en_CA as additional locale in expert mode, but 
setting it as default will indeed need to be done after the installation is 
completed.

I do plan to change preseeding for localechooser and /possibly/ you could 
select en_CA as default locale using that, but I don't feel we should 
implement this in the interactive mode.

Cheers,
FJP
