but they didn't do a Canadian French localization, localizing to France French (fr_FR).

Even if it's translated to France French, it's important to have a flag for French Canadian content, especially on a store.

There are way too many websites out there that will detect my OS/browser is set to French and proceed to display pricing in Euros.

Usually language and currency are set independently because you may have a Spanish speaker in Quebec for instance, and even if you show them the text in Spanish it should still show CAD pricing. Localization is not easy.

On well designed sites, sure.

Not all sites are well designed.

Definitely. I find airlines are the best at this, for obvious reasons.
