    Glad you figured it out. For those who may come later this was because 'en-ca' was being used as a string in a logical expression. It should use an IN expression or multiple logical expressions to compare for both 'en-us' or 'en-ca':

    CASE WHEN RIGHT(TRIM(`URL`),5) IN ('en-us', 'en-ca') THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END

    All I get is 0 and 1s when I use CASE WHEN and ask for true and false to be returned....wrapping whole thing in BOOLEAN() did stuff all as well....
