+Subject: [PATCH] tests.localization: use en_CA instead of en_US for
+ test_equivalent
+
+**python-iso3166** got an update which breaks the Streamlink tests.
+https://pypi.org/project/iso3166/#history
+
+**python-iso3166** and **pycountry** have now a different `name` for _the United States of America_
+
+> python-iso3166: United States of America
+https://github.com/deactivated/python-iso3166/commit/e5f8b37f18b01fcb5fa0e8130d8296fc7a7b5a9f
+
+> pycountry: United States
+https://bitbucket.org/flyingcircus/pycountry/src/5aa4bb47e33798cb631a81521b7b5b18f7d6c919/src/pycountry/databases/iso3166-1.json?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default#iso3166-1.json-1572:1578
+
+https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:US
+
+---
+
+use **en_CA** instead of **en_US** for backwards compatibility,
+as changing the **US** name would fail with older versions of **python-iso3166** / **pycountry**
