how to change locale settings

["Adam Black" <amadan.korvin@gmail.com>]

Hi again.

OK so I recently switched to a non-UTF locale to un-break emacs (or to
attempt to un-break it) and supposedly I switched to en_US the ISO one
but now anytime i run any program I get the following error:

warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
       LANGUAGE = "en_CA:en_US:en_GB:en",
       LC_ALL = (unset),
       LANG = "en_CA.UTF-8"
   are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

I tried dpkg-reconfigure locales but with no success, just the same
error message.  any ideas?
