As Shaun points out, it gets a little convoluted.

Which rules does Canada follow for the ending of a sentence with quoted

"quoted text."
or
"quoted text".
That might need a locale anyway
Assuming that British is punctuation outside of the quotes,
en_US: “That color is nice.”
en_CA: “That colour is nice.”
en_GB: “That colour is nice”.
en_AU: Yet another variant?
Leads to a possibility of 4 translations where there were two before.
Anyway, this is probably not particularly constructive to the debate.
Not sure where you were going with the question, but the point is that's
