I have the same problem in Australia, plus a lack of is_in tags. To get routing by town to work, I had to do two things:

Put a script called navit in /usr/local/bin/.
Code:
```
#!/bin/sh
LANG=en_AU /usr/bin/navit
```
Because /usr/local/bin/ preceeds /usr/bin in the PATH, this script will be called from the launcher in preference to /usr/bin/navit.
Hack osm2navit to add is_in=Australia to every place in the OSM export and regenerate the map. You won't need to do this if OSM already has is_in tags for Canada.

After doing these two things, routing by town works great. Street names seem to work too but I haven't tried them all that much.
