If you or your company do not comply with regulations then the official language "police" will be at your door. If you want to pursue a career in retail, the police, the post office, government, business and even the military, you must be bilingual.

I think this statement is inaccurate. I lived in western Canada for three years, and the only French I ever saw (I never heard anyone actually speak it) was on road signs in national parks. Even the legal documents I signed were in English.

I think this statement is inaccurate.

Too much socialism has obviously addled your brain.

I agree - though I live in the US, we are on the Manitoba border, have many Canadian friends and go there often. No one I know even speaks French.I think this health care thing is overblown too - just because we wish to be better, doesn't necessarily make it so. My husband waited 7 months here to see a neurologist while fighting the insurance co here - my canadian friend waited 2 days. My Canadian friends are anything but poor - huge new homes. I don't wish to be Canadian, and I also don't wish to see things made to look worse than they are, just to make a point.

I know a gal in Edmonton who's sending me some warm socks! I can't find the ones I want in southern CA! It was -23C there yesterday and 40F in the morning here gives me cold feet:):)

In some areas of Texas if you don't speak spanish don't apply for the job. In areas where mexicans have taken over you don't get hired unless you are Mexican.
