the %p part is empty.

it appears to have to do with:

setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_CA.utf8");

in my code...

[briannesbitt]

For the french locale (and others) %p in strftime is empty or a single space. The absence of AM/PM for some locales is correct as 24 hour time is usually the norm and sometimes there is no one-to-one equivalent for "am" or "pm".

my bad!

we do use am/pm though in french.
