All language specific output which depends on useruserinput must be 
handled inside your programm.
The server has only one setting, which can (and should) be set with 
setlocale as you do. so this should be done globaly than in the 
controller. therefore TYPO3 has the setting
	config.locale_all
there you need to set a string, which is recognized by your server!
maybe your server does not know 'fr_CA', then you must use 'fr_CA.utf8'

you can get a list of available configuration on the command line with:
	locale -a
